BACKGROUND

Activation of naive CD4+ T helper cells results in the development of atleast two distinct effector populations, Th1 cells and Th2 cells. SeeU.S. Pat. No. 7,470,428, Mosmann T R et al. (1986) J Immunol136:2348-57; Mosmann T R et al. (1996) Immunol Today 17:138-46; Abbas AK et al. (1996) Nature 383:787-793. Th1 cells produce cytokines (e.g.,interferon gamma, interleukin-2, tumor necrosis factor alpha, andlymphotoxin) which are commonly associated with cell-mediated immuneresponses against intracellular pathogens, delayed-type hypersensitivityreactions (Sher A et al. (1992) Annu Rev Immunol 10:385-409), andinduction of organ-specific autoimmune diseases. Liblau R S et al.(1995) Immunol Today 16:34-38. Th2 cells produce cytokines (e.g., IL-4,IL-10, and IL-13) that are crucial for control of extracellularhelminthic infections and promote atopic and allergic diseases. Sher Aet al. (1992) Annu Rev Immunol 10:385-409. In addition to their distinctroles in disease, the Th1 and Th2 cells cross-regulate each other'sexpansion and functions. Thus, preferential induction of Th2 cellsinhibits autoimmune diseases (Kuchroo V K et al. (1995) Cell 80:707-18;Nicholson L B et al. (1995) Immunity 3:397-405), and predominantinduction of Th1 cells can regulate induction of asthma, atopy andallergies. Lack G et al. (1994) J Immunol 152:2546-54; Hofstra C L etal. (1998) J Immunol 161:5054-60.

TIM-3 is a transmembrane receptor protein that is expressed, e.g., onTh1 (T helper 1) CD4+ cells and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells that secreteIFN-γ. TIM-3 is generally not expressed on naïve T cells but ratherupregulated on activated, effector T cells. TIM-3 has a role inregulating immunity and tolerance in vivo (see Hastings et al., Eur JImmunol. 2009 September; 39(9):2492-501). There is a need in the art fornew molecules that regulate TIM-3 function and the function of TIM-3expressing cells.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

T-cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain 3 (TIM-3, also known asHepatitis A virus cellular receptor 2, and HAVCR2) is a cell surfaceprotein expressed, e.g., on activated CD4+ and CD8+ T cells, naturalregulatory T cells (nTregs), NK cells, and innate cells, e.g.,macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells (DCs). TIM-3 is generally notexpressed on naïve T cells, but rather upregulated on activated,effector T cells, e.g., on a PD-1+ subset of cells. TIM-3 is alsoexpressed on tissue site natural regulatory cells and in murine models.TIM-3+ Tregs have been shown to have a more suppressive phenotype whileTIM-3+ Tregs have also been shown to correlate with disease severity inNSCLC, hepatocellular and ovarian carcinoma. TIM-3 is constitutivelyexpressed on DCs, monocytes/macrophages and NK cells, and blockade ofTIM-3 has been shown to correlate with increased cytotoxicity in NKcells; increased secretion of IL-12/TNF-α by monocytes/macrophages; andincreased NF-κB expression in DCs. Blockade of TIM-3 (partially aloneand additively or synergistically in combination with PD-1 pathwayblockade) has shown anti-tumor efficacy in several preclinical cancermodels, including CT26 colon carcinoma (Sakuishi et al., J Exp Med.2010; 207(10):2187-94), WT3 sarcoma and TRAMP-C1 prostate carcinoma(Ngiow et al., Cancer Res. 2011; 71(10):3540-3551). Recent studies havehighlighted TIM-3 as an important player in the T effector cellexhaustion and suppression that takes place in chronic immune conditionssuch as infection, e.g., bacterial or viral, and cancer in both humansand experimental models. TIM-3 has been described as an inhibitoryreceptor in the immunological synapse, and blocking of TIM-3 may enhanceimmune response against infection and cancer.

Blockade of TIM-3 has been shown to restore activity in effector cells,such as cytokine secretion and proliferation. In virally exhausted cellpopulations, e.g., cells infected with HCV, TIM-3-expressing cells(TIM3+ cells) express less TNF-alpha and IFN-gamma cytokines than TIM-3negative cells in both effector cell populations, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells(Golden-Mason et al., 2009, J. Virol, 83:9122). Blockade of TIM-3restores proliferation in CD8+ T cells from an HIV patient, or in cellsthat recapitulate viral exhaustion (Jones et al., 2008, J. Exp. Med.,205:2763), or proliferation and IFN-γ and/or TNF-α secretion in NY-ESO-1specific T cells from PBMCs from metastatic patients (Fourcade et al.,2010, J. Exp. Med., 207:2175). TIM-3 blockade may also diminish thesuppressor activity of regulatory T cells. TIM-3+ T cells have beenfound to be concentrated in tumors, and contribute to theimmunosuppressive tumor environment (Sakuishi et al., 2013,Oncoimmunology, 2:e23849; Gao et al., 2012, Plos One; and Yan et al.,2013, Plos One.). Thus, blockade of TIM-3, e.g., by antibodies thatinhibit TIM-3 function, can improve the immune response againstinfection and anti-tumor immunity.

TIM-3 has also been implicated in regulating immune response throughmacrophage activity. Blockade of TIM-3 leads to an increase inTLR-mediated IL-12 production (Zhang et al., 2010, J Leukoc Biol,91:189). Thus, TIM-3 blockade may increase immune stimulation propertiesof macrophages to enhance immune response against infection andanti-tumor activity.

TIM-3 has five reported ligands: Galectin-9 (Gal-9), phosphatidylserine(PtdSer), HMGB1, Semaphorin-4A, and CEACAM-1. S-type lectin galectin-9can inhibit TIM-3-associated Th1 effector function and induce apoptosison TIM-3-expressing T cells in murine models. PtdSer usually resides onthe intracellular side of the plasma membrane, but is flipped to theextracellular side during apoptosis. PtdSer binds a preserved cleft inall three human TIM family members (TIM-1, 3, 4). Inhibition of PtdSerbinding to TIM-3 may activate T-cell response. Galectin-9 is secreted bytumor cells and can contribute to evasion from anti-tumor immunity. DNAalarmin HMGB1, for which TIM-3 may act as a “sink,” can prevent theHMGB1/RAGE interactions that stimulate innate immunity. Semaphorin-4Aand CEACAM-1 (another immune checkpoint molecule whose inhibition canenhance immune response) can interact with TIM-3 both in cis as aheterodimer on T cells and in trans as a ligand. Interaction betweenCEACAM-1 and TIM-3 may help mediate block immune response signaling.Co-blockade of TIM-3 and CEACAM-1 in CT26 colon carcinoma showed similarefficacy to that seen for co-blockade of PD-L1 and TIM-3.

The TIM-3 cytoplasmic tail has seven sites for tyrosine phosphorylationand no known inhibitory (i.e., ITIM) motifs, which suggests that TIM-3could co-stimulate with the T cell receptor, leading to functionalexhaustion through increased T cell signaling. TIM-3 can interact withFyn and facilitate accumulation of receptor phosphatases CD148 and CD45at the immunologic synapse. The presence of CEACAM-1 as a co-receptor inthe TIM-3/CEACAM-1 heterodimer suggests that this co-expression may leadto inhibitory signaling in T cells via the ITIM motif in the CEACAM-1cytoplasmic tail which has been shown to interact with both SHP1 andSHP2.

Disclosed herein are antibody molecules that bind to TIM-3 with highaffinity and specificity. In one embodiment, humanized antibodiesagainst TIM-3 are disclosed. Additional aspects of the invention includenucleic acid molecules encoding the antibody molecules, expressionvectors, host cells and methods for making the antibody molecules arealso provided. Immunoconjugates, multi- or bispecific antibody moleculesand pharmaceutical compositions comprising the antibody molecules arealso provided.

Thus, compositions andmethods for detecting TIM-3, as well as methods for treating variousdisorders, including cancer and immune disorders using the anti-TIM-3antibody molecules are disclosed herein.

The term “TIM-3” include isoforms, mammalian, e.g., human TIM-3, specieshomologs of human TIM-3, and analogs comprising at least one commonepitope with TIM-3. The amino acid sequence of TIM-3, e.g, human TIM-3,is known in the art, e.g., Sabatos et al., 2003. Nat Immunol,4(11):1102.

Definitions

As used herein, the articles “a” and “an” refer to one or to more thanone (e.g., to at least one) of the grammatical object of the article.

The term “or” is used herein to mean, and is used interchangeably with,the term “and/or”, unless context clearly indicates otherwise.

“About” and “approximately” shall generally mean an acceptable degree oferror for the quantity measured given the nature or precision of themeasurements. Exemplary degrees of error are within 20 percent (%),typically, within 10%, and more typically, within 5% of a given value orrange of values.

The compositions and methods disclosed herein encompass polypeptides andnucleic acids having the sequences specified, or sequences substantiallyidentical or similar thereto, e.g., sequences at least 85%, 90%, 95%identical or higher to the sequence specified. In the context of anamino acid sequence, the term “substantially identical” is used hereinto refer to a first amino acid that contains a sufficient or minimumnumber of amino acid residues that are i) identical to, or ii)conservative substitutions of aligned amino acid residues in a secondamino acid sequence such that the first and second amino acid sequencescan have a common structural domain and/or common functional activity.For example, amino acid sequences that contain a common structuraldomain having at least about 85%, 90%. 91%, 92%, 93%, 94%, 95%, 96%,97%, 98% or 99% identity to a reference sequence, e.g., a sequenceprovided herein.

In the context of nucleotide sequence, the term “substantiallyidentical” is used herein to refer to a first nucleic acid sequence thatcontains a sufficient or minimum number of nucleotides that areidentical to aligned nucleotides in a second nucleic acid sequence suchthat the first and second nucleotide sequences encode a polypeptidehaving common functional activity, or encode a common structuralpolypeptide domain or a common functional polypeptide activity. Forexample, nucleotide sequences having at least about 85%, 90%, 91%, 92%,93%, 94%, 95%, 96%, 97%, 98% or 99% identity to a reference sequence,e.g., a sequence provided herein.

The term “functional variant” refers polypeptides that have asubstantially identical amino acid sequence to the naturally-occurringsequence, or are encoded by a substantially identical nucleotidesequence, and are capable of having one or more activities of thenaturally-occurring sequence.

To determine the percent identity of two amino acid sequences, or of twonucleic acid sequences, the sequences are aligned for optimal comparisonpurposes (e.g., gaps can be introduced in one or both of a first and asecond amino acid or nucleic acid sequence for optimal alignment andnon-homologous sequences can be disregarded for comparison purposes). Ina preferred embodiment, the length of a reference sequence aligned forcomparison purposes is at least 30%, e.g., at least 40%, 50%, 60%, e.g.,at least 70%, 80%, 90%, 100% of the length of the reference sequence.The amino acid residues or nucleotides at corresponding amino acidpositions or nucleotide positions are then compared. When a position inthe first sequence is occupied by the same amino acid residue ornucleotide as the corresponding position in the second sequence, thenthe molecules are identical at that position.

The percent identity between the two sequences is a function of thenumber of identical positions shared by the sequences, taking intoaccount the number of gaps, and the length of each gap, which need to beintroduced for optimal alignment of the two sequences.

The comparison of sequences and determination of percent identitybetween two sequences can be accomplished using a mathematicalalgorithm. In a some embodiments, the percent identity between two aminoacid sequences is determined using the Needleman and Wunsch ((1970) J.Mol. Biol. 48:444-453) algorithm which has been incorporated into theGAP program in the GCG software package (available athttp://www.gcg.com), using either a Blossum 62 matrix or a PAM250matrix, and a gap weight of 16, 14, 12, 10, 8, 6, or 4 and a lengthweight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. In certain embodiments, the percentidentity between two nucleotide sequences is determined using the GAPprogram in the GCG software package (available at http://www.gcg.com),using a NWSgapdna.CMP matrix and a gap weight of 40, 50, 60, 70, or 80and a length weight of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6. One suitable set ofparameters (and the one that should be used unless otherwise specified)are a Blossum 62 scoring matrix with a gap penalty of 12, a gap extendpenalty of 4, and a frameshift gap penalty of 5.

The percent identity between two amino acid or nucleotide sequences canbe determined using the algorithm of E. Meyers and W. Miller ((1989)CABIOS, 4:11-17) which has been incorporated into the ALIGN program(version 2.0), using a PAM120 weight residue table, a gap length penaltyof 12 and a gap penalty of 4.

The nucleic acid and protein sequences described herein can be used as a“query sequence” to perform a search against public databases to, forexample, identify other family members or related sequences. Suchsearches can be performed using the NBLAST and XBLAST programs (version2.0) of Altschul, et al. (1990) J. Mol. Biol. 215:403-10. BLASTnucleotide searches can be performed with the NBLAST program, score=100,wordlength=12 to obtain nucleotide sequences homologous to a nucleicacid as described herein. BLAST protein searches can be performed withthe XBLAST program, score=50, wordlength=3 to obtain amino acidsequences homologous to protein molecules described herein. To obtaingapped alignments for comparison purposes, Gapped BLAST can be utilizedas described in Altschul et al., (1997) Nucleic Acids Res. 25:3389-3402.When utilizing BLAST and Gapped BLAST programs, the default parametersof the respective programs (e.g., XBLAST and NBLAST) can be used. Seewww.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.

As used herein, the term “hybridizes under low stringency, mediumstringency, high stringency, or very high stringency conditions”describes conditions for hybridization and washing. Guidance forperforming hybridization reactions can be found in Current Protocols inMolecular Biology, John Wiley & Sons, N.Y. (1989), 6.3.1-6.3.6, which isincorporated by reference. Aqueous and nonaqueous methods are describedin that reference and either can be used. Specific hybridizationconditions referred to herein are as follows: 1) low stringencyhybridization conditions in 6× sodium chloride/sodium citrate (SSC) atabout 45° C., followed by two washes in 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at least at50° C. (the temperature of the washes can be increased to 55° C. for lowstringency conditions); 2) medium stringency hybridization conditions in6×SSC at about 45° C., followed by one or more washes in 0.2×SSC, 0.1%SDS at 60° C.; 3) high stringency hybridization conditions in 6×SSC atabout 45° C., followed by one or more washes in 0.2×SSC, 0.1% SDS at 65°C.; and preferably 4) very high stringency hybridization conditions are0.5M sodium phosphate, 7% SDS at 65° C., followed by one or more washesat 0.2×SSC, 1% SDS at 65° C. Very high stringency conditions (4) aresuitable conditions and the ones that should be used unless otherwisespecified.

It is understood that the molecules described herein may have additionalconservative or non-essential amino acid substitutions, which do nothave a substantial effect on their functions.

A “conservative amino acid substitution” is one in which the amino acidresidue is replaced with an amino acid residue having a similar sidechain. Families of amino acid residues having similar side chains havebeen defined in the art. These families include amino acids with basicside chains (e.g., lysine, arginine, histidine), acidic side chains(e.g., aspartic acid, glutamic acid), uncharged polar side chains (e.g.,glycine, asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine, tyrosine, cysteine),nonpolar side chains (e.g., alanine, valine, leucine, isoleucine,proline, phenylalanine, methionine, tryptophan), beta-branched sidechains (e.g., threonine, valine, isoleucine) and aromatic side chains(e.g., tyrosine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine).

The terms “polypeptide”, “peptide” and “protein” (if single chain) areused interchangeably herein.

The terms “nucleic acid,” “nucleic acid sequence,” “nucleotidesequence,” or “polynucleotide sequence,” and “polynucleotide” are usedinterchangeably.

The term “isolated,” as used herein, refers to material that is removedfrom its original or native environment (e.g., the natural environmentif it is naturally occurring). For example, a naturally-occurringpolynucleotide or polypeptide present in a living animal is notisolated, but the same polynucleotide or polypeptide, separated by humanintervention from some or all of the co-existing materials in thenatural system, is isolated. Such polynucleotides could be part of avector and/or such polynucleotides or polypeptides could be part of acomposition, and still be isolated in that such vector or composition isnot part of the environment in which it is found in nature.

Various aspects of the compositions and methods herein are described infurther detail below. Additional definitions are set out throughout thespecification.

In an embodiment the first epitope is located onTIM-3 and the second epitope is located on a PD-1, LAG-3, CEACAM (e.g.,CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3 and/or CEACAM-5), PD-L1, or PD-L2.

In an embodiment, an antibody molecule comprises a diabody, and asingle-chain molecule, as well as an antigen-binding fragment of anantibody (e.g., Fab, F(ab′)₂, and Fv). For example, an antibody moleculecan include a heavy (H) chain variable domain sequence (abbreviatedherein as VH), and a light (L) chain variable domain sequence(abbreviated herein as VL). In an embodiment an antibody moleculecomprises or consists of a heavy chain and a light chain (referred toherein as a half antibody. In another example, an antibody moleculeincludes two heavy (H) chain variable domain sequences and two light (L)chain variable domain sequence, thereby forming two antigen bindingsites, such as Fab, Fab′, F(ab′)₂, Fc, Fd, Fd′, Fv, single chainantibodies (scFv for example), single variable domain antibodies,diabodies (Dab) (bivalent and bispecific), and chimeric (e.g.,humanized) antibodies, which may be produced by the modification ofwhole antibodies or those synthesized de novo using recombinant DNAtechnologies. These functional antibody fragments retain the ability toselectively bind with their respective antigen or receptor. Antibodiesand antibody fragments can be from any class of antibodies including,but not limited to, IgG, IgA, IgM, IgD, and IgE, and from any subclass(e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4) of antibodies. The preparation ofantibody molecules can be monoclonal or polyclonal. An antibodymoleculecan also be a human, humanized, CDR-grafted, or in vitro generatedantibody. The antibody can have a heavy chain constant region chosenfrom, e.g., IgG1, IgG2, IgG3, or IgG4. The antibody can also have alight chain chosen from, e.g., kappa or lambda. The term“immunoglobulin” (Ig) is used interchangeably with the term “antibody”herein.

Examples of antigen-binding fragments of an antibody molecule include:(i) a Fab fragment, a monovalent fragment consisting of the VL, VH, CLand CH1 domains; (ii) a F(ab′)2 fragment, a bivalent fragment comprisingtwo Fab fragments linked by a disulfide bridge at the hinge region;(iii) a Fd fragment consisting of the VH and CH1 domains; (iv) a Fvfragment consisting of the VL and VH domains of a single arm of anantibody, (v) a diabody (dAb) fragment, which consists of a VH domain;(vi) a camelid or camelized variable domain; (vii) a single chain Fv(scFv), see e.g., Bird et al. (1988) Science 242:423-426; and Huston etal. (1988) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 85:5879-5883); (viii) a singledomain antibody. These antibody fragments may be obtained using anysuitable method, including several conventional techniques known tothose with skill in the art, and the fragments can be screened forutility in the same manner as are intact antibodies.

The term “antibody” includes intact molecules as well as functionalfragments thereof. Constant regions of the antibodies can be altered,e.g., mutated, to modify the properties of the antibody (e.g., toincrease or decrease one or more of: Fc receptor binding, antibodyglycosylation, the number of cysteine residues, effector cell function,or complement function).

The antibodies disclosed herein can also be single domain antibodies.Single domain antibodies can include antibodies whose complementarydetermining regions are part of a single domain polypeptide. Examplesinclude, but are not limited to, heavy chain antibodies, antibodiesnaturally devoid of light chains, single domain antibodies derived fromconventional 4-chain antibodies, engineered antibodies and single domainscaffolds other than those derived from antibodies. Single domainantibodies may be any of the art, or any future single domainantibodies. Single domain antibodies may be derived from any speciesincluding, but not limited to mouse, human, camel, llama, fish, shark,goat, rabbit, and bovine. According to some aspects, a single domainantibody is a naturally occurring single domain antibody known as heavychain antibody devoid of light chains. Such single domain antibodies aredisclosed in WO 9404678, for example. For clarity reasons, this variabledomain derived from a heavy chain antibody naturally devoid of lightchain is known herein as a VHH or nanobody to distinguish it from theconventional VH of four chain immunoglobulins. Such a VHH molecule canbe derived from antibodies raised in Camelidae species, for example incamel, llama, dromedary, alpaca and guanaco. Other species besidesCamelidae may produce heavy chain antibodies naturally devoid of lightchain; such VHHs are also contemplated.

The VH and VL regions can be subdivided into regions ofhypervariability, termed “complementarity determining regions” (CDR),interspersed with regions that are more conserved, termed “frameworkregions” (FR). The extent of the framework region and CDRs has beenprecisely defined by a number of methods (see, Kabat, E. A., et al.(1991) Sequences of Proteins of Immunological Interest, Fifth Edition,U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, NIH Publication No.91-3242; Chothia, C. et al. (1987) J. Mol. Biol. 196:901-917; and theAbM definition used by Oxford Molecular's AbM antibody modelingsoftware. See, generally, e.g., Protein Sequence and Structure Analysisof Antibody Variable Domains. In: Antibody Engineering Lab Manual (Ed.:Duebel, S. and Kontermann, R., Springer-Verlag, Heidelberg). In someembodiments, the following definitions are used: AbM definition of CDR1of the heavy chain variable domain and Kabat definitions for the otherCDRs. In certain embodiments, Kabat definitions are used for all CDRs.In addition, embodiments described with respect to Kabat or AbM CDRs mayalso be implemented using Chothia hypervariable loops. Each VH and VLtypically includes three CDRs and four FRs, arranged from amino-terminusto carboxy-terminus in the following order: FR1, CDR1, FR2, CDR2, FR3,CDR3, FR4.

As used herein, an “immunoglobulin variable domain sequence” refers toan amino acid sequence which can form the structure of an immunoglobulinvariable domain. For example, the sequence may include all or part ofthe amino acid sequence of a naturally-occurring variable domain. Forexample, the sequence may or may not include one, two, or more N- orC-terminal amino acids, or may include other alterations that arecompatible with formation of the protein structure.

The term “antigen-binding site” refers to the part of an antibodymolecule that comprises determinants that form an interface that bindsto a TIM-3 polypeptide, or an epitope thereof. With respect to proteins(or protein mimetics), the antigen-binding site typically includes oneor more loops (of at least, e.g., four amino acids or amino acid mimics)that form an interface that binds to the TIM-3 polypeptide. Typically,the antigen-binding site of an antibody molecule includes at least oneor two CDRs, or more typically at least three, four, five or six CDRs.

The terms “compete” or “cross-compete” are used interchangeably hereinto refer to the ability of an antibody molecule to interfere withbinding of an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule, e.g., an anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule provided herein, to a target, e.g., human TIM-3. Theinterference with binding can be direct or indirect (e.g., through anallosteric modulation of the antibody molecule or the target). Theextent to which an antibody molecule is able to interfere with thebinding of another antibody molecule to the target, and thereforewhether it can be said to compete, can be determined using a competitionbinding assay, for example, a FACS assay, an ELISA or BIACORE assay. Insome embodiments, a competition binding assay is a quantitativecompetition assay. In some embodiments, a first anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule is said to compete for binding to the target with a secondanti-TIM-3 antibody molecule when the binding of the first antibodymolecule to the target is reduced by 10% or more, e.g., 20% or more, 30%or more, 40% or more, 50% or more, 55% or more, 60% or more, 65% ormore, 70% or more, 75% or more, 80% or more, 85% or more, 90% or more,95% or more, 98% or more, 99% or more in a competition binding assay(e.g., a competition assay described herein).

As used herein, the term “epitope” refers to the moieties of an antigen(e.g., human TIM-3) that specifically interact with an antibodymolecule. Such moieties, referred to herein as epitopic determinants,typically comprise, or are part of, elements such as amino acid sidechains or sugar side chains. An epitopic determinant can be defined bymethods known in the art or disclosed herein, e.g., by crystallographyor by hydrogen-deuterium exchange. At least one or some of the moietieson the antibody molecule, that specifically interact with an epitopicdeterminant, are typically located in a CDR(s). Typically an epitope hasa specific three dimensional structural characteristics. Typically anepitope has specific charge characteristics. Some epitopes are linearepitopes while others are conformational epitopes.

In an embodiment, an epitopic determinant is a moiety on the antigen,e.g., such as amino acid side chain or sugar side chain, or partthereof, which, when the antigen and antibody molecule areco-crystallized, is within a predetermined distance, e.g., within 5Angstroms, of a moiety on the antibody molecule, referred to herein as a“crystallographic epitopic determinant.” The crystallographic epitopicdeterminants of an epitope are collectively refered to as the“crystallographic epitope.”

A first antibody molecule binds the same epitope as a second antibodymolecule (e.g., a reference antibody molecule, e.g., an antibodymolecule disclosed herein, e.g., ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM-hum11 orABTIM3-hum03) if the first antibody specifically interacts with the sameepitopic determinants on the antigen as does the second or referenceantibody, e.g., when interaction is measured in the same way for boththe antibody and the second or reference antibody. Epitopes that overlapshare at least one epitopic determinant. A first antibody molecule bindsan overlapping epitope with a second antibody molecule (e.g., areference antibody molecule, e.g., an antibody disclosed herein, e.g.,ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM-hum11 or ABTIM3-hum03) when both antibody moleculesspecifically interact with a common epitopic determinant. A first and asecond antibody molecule (e.g., a reference antibody molecule, e.g., anantibody molecule disclosed herein, e.g., ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM-hum11 orABTIM3-hum03) bind substantially overlapping epitopes if at least halfof the epitopic determinants of the second or reference antibody arefound as epitopic determinants in the epitope of the first antibody. Afirst and a second antibody molecule (e.g., a reference antibodymolecule, e.g., an antibody molecule disclosed herein, e.g.,ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM-hum11 or ABTIM3-hum03) bind substantially the sameepitope if the first antibody molecule binds at least half of the coreepitopic determinants of the epitope of the second or referenceantibody, wherein the core epitopic determinants are defined bycrystallography and hydrogen-deuterium exchange, e.g., includingresidues Val24, Glu25, Thr41, Glu121, Lys122, Phe123, Asn124, Leu125,Lys126, Leu127, Val128, Gly56, Ala57, Cys58, Pro59, Val60, and Phe61 ofhuman TIM-3.

The terms “monoclonal antibody” or “monoclonal antibody composition” asused herein refer to a preparation of antibody molecules of singlemolecular composition. A monoclonal antibody composition displays asingle binding specificity and affinity for a particular epitope. Amonoclonal antibody can be made by hybridoma technology or by methodsthat do not use hybridoma technology (e.g., recombinant methods).

An “effectively human” protein is a protein that does not evoke aneutralizing antibody response, e.g., the human anti-murine antibody(HAMA) response. HAMA can be problematic in a number of circumstances,e.g., if the antibody molecule is administered repeatedly, e.g., intreatment of a chronic or recurrent disease condition. A HAMA responsecan make repeated antibody administration potentially ineffectivebecause of an increased antibody clearance from the serum (see, e.g.,Saleh et al., Cancer Immunol. Immunother., 32:180-190 (1990)) and alsobecause of potential allergic reactions (see, e.g., LoBuglio et al.,Hybridoma, 5:5117-5123 (1986)).

The antibody molecule can be a polyclonal or a monoclonal antibody. Inother embodiments, the antibody can be recombinantly produced, e.g.,produced by any suitable phage display or combinatorial methods.

Various phage display and combinatorial methods for generatingantibodies are known in the art (as described in, e.g., Ladner et al.U.S. Pat. No. 5,223,409; Kang et al. International Publication No. WO92/18619; Dower et al. International Publication No. WO 91/17271; Winteret al.

In some embodiments, the antibody is a fully human antibody (e.g., anantibody made in a mouse which has been genetically engineered toproduce an antibody from a human immunoglobulin sequence), or anon-human antibody, e.g., a rodent (mouse or rat), goat, primate (e.g.,monkey), camel antibody. In certain embodiments, the non-human antibodyis a rodent (mouse or rat antibody). Methods of producing rodentantibodies are known in the art.

Human monoclonal antibodies can be generated using transgenic micecarrying the human immunoglobulin genes rather than the mouse system.Splenocytes from these transgenic mice immunized with the antigen ofinterest are used to produce hybridomas that secrete human mAbs withspecific affinities for epitopes from a human protein (see, e.g., Woodet al. International Application WO 91/00906, Kucherlapati et al. PCTpublication WO 91/10741; Lonberg et al. International Application WO92/03918; Kay et al. International Application 92/03917; Lonberg, N. etal. 1994 Nature 368:856-859; Green, L. L. et al. 1994 Nature Genet.7:13-21; Morrison, S. L. et al. 1994 Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA81:6851-6855; Bruggeman et al. 1993 Year Immunol 7:33-40; Tuaillon etal. 1993 PNAS 90:3720-3724; Bruggeman et al. 1991 Eur J Immunol21:1323-1326).

An antibody can be one in which the variable region, or a portionthereof, e.g., the CDRs, are generated in a non-human organism, e.g., arat or mouse. Chimeric, CDR-grafted, and humanized antibodies are alsocontemplated. Antibodies generated in a non-human organism, e.g., a rator mouse, and then modified, e.g., in the variable framework or constantregion, to decrease antigenicity in a human are also contemplated.

Chimeric antibodies can be produced by any suitable recombinant DNAtechnique. Several are known in the art (see Robinson et al.,International Patent Publication PCT/US86/02269; Akira, et al., EuropeanPatent Application 184,187; Taniguchi, M., European Patent Application171,496; Morrison et al., European Patent Application 173,494; Neubergeret al., International Application WO 86/01533; Cabilly et al. U.S. Pat.No. 4,816,567; Cabilly et al., European Patent Application 125,023;Better et al. (1988 Science 240:1041-1043); Liu et al. (1987) PNAS84:3439-3443; Liu et al., 1987, J. Immunol. 139:3521-3526; Sun et al.(1987) PNAS 84:214-218; Nishimura et al., 1987, Canc. Res. 47:999-1005;Wood et al. (1985) Nature 314:446-449; and Shaw et al., 1988, J. NatlCancer Inst. 80:1553-1559).

A humanized or CDR-grafted antibody will have at least one or two butgenerally all three recipient CDRs (of heavy and or light immunoglobulinchains) replaced with a donor CDR. The antibody may be replaced with atleast a portion of a non-human CDR or only some of the CDRs may bereplaced with non-human CDRs. It is only necessary to replace the numberof CDRs required for binding of the humanized antibody to TIM-3. In someembodiments, the donor will be a rodent antibody, e.g., a rat or mouseantibody, and the recipient will be a human framework or a humanconsensus framework. Typically, the immunoglobulin providing the CDRs iscalled the “donor” and the immunoglobulin providing the framework iscalled the “acceptor.” In some embodiments, the donor immunoglobulin isa non-human (e.g., rodent). The acceptor framework is typically anaturally-occurring (e.g., a human) framework or a consensus framework,or a sequence about 85% or higher, e.g., 90%, 95%, 99% or higheridentical thereto.

As used herein, the term “consensus sequence” refers to the sequenceformed from the most frequently occurring amino acids (or nucleotides)in a family of related sequences (See e.g., Winnaker, From Genes toClones (Verlagsgesellschaft, Weinheim, Germany 1987). In a family ofproteins, each position in the consensus sequence is occupied by theamino acid occurring most frequently at that position in the family. Iftwo amino acids occur equally frequently, either can be included in theconsensus sequence. A “consensus framework” refers to the frameworkregion in the consensus immunoglobulin sequence.

An antibody can be humanized by any suitable method, and several suchmethods known in the art (see e.g., Morrison, S. L., 1985, Science229:1202-1207, by Oi et al., 1986, BioTechniques 4:214, and by Queen etal. U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,089, U.S. Pat. No. 5,693,761 and U.S. Pat. No.5,693,762, the contents of all of which are hereby incorporated byreference).

Humanized or CDR-grafted antibodies can be produced by CDR-grafting orCDR substitution, wherein one, two, or all CDRs of an immunoglobulinchain can be replaced. See e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,539; Jones et al.1986 Nature 321:552-525; Verhoeyan et al. 1988 Science 239:1534; Beidleret al. 1988 J. Immunol. 141:4053-4060; Winter U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,539,the contents of all of which are hereby expressly incorporated byreference. Winter describes a CDR-grafting method which may be used toprepare humanized antibodies (UK Patent Application GB 2188638A, filedon Mar. 26, 1987; Winter U.S. Pat. No. 5,225,539), the contents of whichis expressly incorporated by reference.

Also provided are humanized antibodies in which specific amino acidshave been substituted, deleted or added. Criteria for selecting aminoacids from the donor are described in, e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,089,e.g., columns 12-16 of U.S. Pat. No. 5,585,089, the contents of whichare hereby incorporated by reference. Other techniques for humanizingantibodies are described in Padlan et al. EP 519596 A1, published onDec. 23, 1992.

The antibody molecule can be a single chain antibody. A single-chainantibody (scFV) may be engineered (see, for example, Colcher, D. et al.(1999) Ann N Y Acad Sci 880:263-80; and Reiter, Y. (1996) Clin CancerRes 2:245-52). The single chain antibody can be dimerized ormultimerized to generate multivalent antibodies having specificities fordifferent epitopes of the same target protein.

In some embodiments, the antibody molecule has a heavy chain constantregion chosen from, e.g., the heavy chain constant regions of IgG1,IgG2, IgG3, IgG4, IgM, IgA1, IgA2, IgD, and IgE; particularly, chosenfrom, e.g., the (e.g., human) heavy chain constant regions of IgG1,IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4. In another embodiment, the antibody molecule has alight chain constant region chosen from, e.g., the (e.g., human) lightchain constant regions of kappa or lambda. The constant region can bealtered, e.g., mutated, to modify the properties of the antibody (e.g.,to increase or decrease one or more of: Fc receptor binding, antibodyglycosylation, the number of cysteine residues, effector cell function,and/or complement function). In some embodiments the antibody haseffector function and can fix complement. In other embodiments theantibody does not recruit effector cells or fix complement. In certainembodiments, the antibody has reduced or no ability to bind an Fcreceptor. For example, it may be an isotype or subtype, fragment orother mutant, which does not support binding to an Fc receptor, e.g., ithas a mutagenized or deleted Fc receptor binding region.

The antibody constant region is altered in some embodiments. Methods foraltering an antibody constant region are known in the art. Antibodieswith altered function, e.g. altered affinity for an effector ligand,such as FcR on a cell, or the C1 component of complement can be producedby replacing at least one amino acid residue in the constant portion ofthe antibody with a different residue (see e.g., EP 388,151 A1, U.S.Pat. No. 5,624,821 and U.S. Pat. No. 5,648,260, the contents of all ofwhich are hereby incorporated by reference). Amino acid mutations whichstabilize antibody structure, such as S228P (EU nomenclature, S241P inKabat nomenclature) in human IgG4 are also contemplated. Similar type ofalterations could be described which if applied to the murine, or otherspecies immunoglobulin would reduce or eliminate these functions.

In some embodiments, the only amino acids in the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule are canonical amino acids. In some embodiments, the anti-TIM-3antibody molecule comprises naturally-occurring amino acids; analogs,derivatives and congeners thereof; amino acid analogs having variantside chains; and/or all stereoisomers of any of any of the foregoing.The anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule may comprise the D- or L-opticalisomers of amino acids and peptidomimetics.

A polypeptide of an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule may be linear orbranched, it may comprise modified amino acids, and it may beinterrupted by non-amino acids. The antibody molecule may also bemodified; for example, by disulfide bond formation, glycosylation,lipidation, acetylation, phosphorylation, or any other manipulation,such as conjugation with a labeling component. The polypeptide can beisolated from natural sources, can be a produced by recombinanttechniques from a eukaryotic or prokaryotic host, or can be a product ofsynthetic procedures.

An antibody molecule can be derivatized or linked to another functionalmolecule (e.g., another peptide or protein). As used herein, a“derivatized” antibody molecule is one that has been modified. Methodsof derivatization include but are not limited to the addition of afluorescent moiety, a radionucleotide, a toxin, an enzyme or an affinityligand such as biotin. Accordingly, the antibody molecules are intendedto include derivatized and otherwise modified forms of the antibodiesdescribed herein, including immunoadhesion molecules. For example, anantibody molecule can be functionally linked (by chemical coupling,genetic fusion, noncovalent association or otherwise) to one or moreother molecular entities, such as another antibody (e.g., a bispecificantibody or a diabody), a detectable agent, a cytotoxic agent, apharmaceutical agent, and/or a protein or peptide that can mediateassociation of the antibody or antibody portion with another molecule(such as a streptavidin core region or a polyhistidine tag).

Some types of derivatized antibody molecule are produced by crosslinkingtwo or more antibodies (of the same type or of different types, e.g., tocreate bispecific antibodies). Suitable crosslinkers include those thatare heterobifunctional, having two distinctly reactive groups separatedby an appropriate spacer (e.g., m-maleimidobenzoyl-N-hydroxysuccinimideester) or homobifunctional (e.g., disuccinimidyl suberate). Such linkersare available from Pierce Chemical Company, Rockford, Ill.

Useful detectable agents with which an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule maybe derivatized (or labeled) to include fluorescent compounds, variousenzymes, prosthetic groups, luminescent materials, bioluminescentmaterials, fluorescent emitting metal atoms, e.g., europium (Eu), andother anthanides, and radioactive materials (described below). Exemplaryfluorescent detectable agents include fluorescein, fluoresceinisothiocyanate, rhodamine, 5dimethylamine-1-napthalenesulfonyl chloride,phycoerythrin and the like. An antibody may also be derivatized withdetectable enzymes, such as alkaline phosphatase, horseradishperoxidase, β-galactosidase, acetylcholinesterase, glucose oxidase andthe like. When an antibody is derivatized with a detectable enzyme, itis detected by adding additional reagents that the enzyme uses toproduce a detectable reaction product. For example, when the detectableagent horseradish peroxidase is present, the addition of hydrogenperoxide and diaminobenzidine leads to a colored reaction product, whichis detectable. An antibody molecule may also be derivatized with aprosthetic group (e.g., streptavidin/biotin and avidin/biotin). Forexample, an antibody may be derivatized with biotin, and detectedthrough indirect measurement of avidin or streptavidin binding. Examplesof suitable fluorescent materials include umbelliferone, fluorescein,fluorescein isothiocyanate, rhodamine, dichlorotriazinylaminefluorescein, dansyl chloride or phycoerythrin; an example of aluminescent material includes luminol; and examples of bioluminescentmaterials include luciferase, luciferin, and aequorin.

Labeled antibody molecule can be used, for example, diagnosticallyand/or experimentally in a number of contexts, including (i) to isolatea predetermined antigen by standard techniques, such as affinitychromatography or immunoprecipitation; (ii) to detect a predeterminedantigen (e.g., in a cellular lysate or cell supernatant) in order toevaluate the abundance and pattern of expression of the protein; (iii)to monitor protein levels in tissue as part of a clinical testingprocedure, e.g., to determine the efficacy of a given treatment regimen.

An antibody molecule may be conjugated to another molecular entity,typically a label or a therapeutic (e.g., immunomodulatory,immunostimularoty, cytotoxic, or cytostatic) agent or moiety.Radioactive isotopes can be used in diagnostic or therapeuticapplications. Radioactive isotopes that can be coupled to the anti-TIM-3antibodies include, but are not limited to α-, β-, or γ-emitters, or β-and γ-emitters. Such radioactive isotopes include, but are not limitedto iodine (¹³¹I or ¹²⁵I), yttrium (⁹⁰ Y), lutetium (¹⁷⁷Lu), actinium(²²⁵Ac), praseodymium, astatine (²¹¹At) rhenium (¹⁸⁶Re), bismuth (²¹²Bior ²¹³Bi), indium (¹¹¹In), technetium (⁹⁹mTc), phosphorus (³²P), rhodium(¹⁸⁸Rh), sulfur (³⁵S), carbon (¹⁴C), tritium (³H), chromium (⁵¹Cr),chlorine (³⁶Cl), cobalt (⁵⁷Co or ⁵⁸Co), iron (⁵⁹Fe), selenium (⁷⁵Se), orgallium (⁶⁷Ga).

The present disclosure provides radiolabeled antibody molecules andmethods of labeling the same. In some embodiments, a method of labelingan antibody molecule is disclosed. The method includes contacting anantibody molecule, with a chelating agent, to thereby produce aconjugated antibody. The conjugated antibody is radiolabeled with aradioisotope, e.g., ¹¹¹Indium, ⁹⁰Yttrium and ¹⁷⁷Lutetium, to therebyproduce a labeled antibody molecule.

In other embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule competes withCEACAM-1 for binding to TIM-3. In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3antibody molecule interacts, e.g., binds to, one, two, or more (all) ofC58, N119 and K122 of TIM-3, e.g., displaces or competes CEACAM-1 forbinding to these residues. In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule reduces or blocks the formation of a hydrogen bond between K122of TIM-3 and N42 of CEACAM-1. With respect to CEACAM-1, it has beenshown that CEACAM-1 is a ligand for TIM-3 and is required for itsability to mediate T-cell inhibition, which may have important role inregulating autoimmunity and anti-tumour immunity (Huang, et al. (2014)Nature doi:10.1038/nature13848).

In another embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule interacts with,e.g., binds to, a PtdSer-binding loop of TIM-3, e.g., the human TIM-3IgV domain. In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody moleculeinteracts with, e.g., binds to, at least two PtdSer-binding loops ofTIM-3, e.g., the FG loop and CC′ loop of TIM-3 (e.g., a metalion-dependent ligand binding site (MILIBS)). For example, the carboxylgroup of PtdSer can bind to the CC′ loop of TIM-3 and the amino group ofPtdSer can bind to the FG loop of TIM-3. In one embodiment, theanti-TIM-3 antibody molecule reduces or prevents PtdSer-mediatedmembrane penetration of TIM-3 Thus, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule mayreduce engagement of TIM-3-expressing cells and/or penetration into themembrane of apoptotic cells (which can display PtdSer) for engulfment.

In another embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule competes withHMGB1 for bind to TIM-3. E.g., it reduces binding of HMGB1 to residue 62of TIM-3 (Q in mouse, E in human TIM-3). With respect to HMGB1, it hasbeen reported to interact with TIM-3 to help tumor-associated dendriticcells suppress nucleic acid-mediated innate immune response (Chiba etal., (2012) Nat. Immunol. 13(9):832-842). Thus, the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule may enhance nucleic acid-mediated innate immune response.

Dosage unit form as used herein refers tophysically discrete units suited as unitary dosages for the subjects tobe treated; each unit contains a predetermined quantity of activecompound calculated to produce the desired therapeutic effect inassociation with the required pharmaceutical carrier. The specificationfor the dosage unit forms are dictated by and directly dependent on (a)the unique characteristics of the active compound and the particulartherapeutic effect to be achieved, and (b) the limitations inherent inthe art of compounding such an active compound for the treatment ofsensitivity in individuals.

An exemplary, non-limiting range for a therapeutically orprophylactically effective amount of an antibody molecule is 0.1-30mg/kg, more preferably 1-25 mg/kg. Dosages and therapeutic regimens ofthe anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule can be determined by a skilled artisan.In certain embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administeredby injection (e.g., subcutaneously or intravenously) at a dose of about1 to 40 mg/kg, e.g., 1 to 30 mg/kg, e.g., about 5 to 25 mg/kg, about 10to 20 mg/kg, about 1 to 5 mg/kg, 1 to 10 mg/kg, 5 to 15 mg/kg, 10 to 20mg/kg, 15 to 25 mg/kg, or about 3 mg/kg. The dosing schedule can varyfrom e.g., once a week to once every 2, 3, or 4 weeks. In oneembodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered at a dosefrom about 10 to 20 mg/kg every other week. The antibody molecule can beadministered by intravenous infusion at a rate of more than 20 mg/min,e.g., 20-40 mg/min, and preferably greater than or equal to 40 mg/min toreach a dose of about 35 to 440 mg/m², preferably about 70 to 310 mg/m²,and more preferably, about 110 to 130 mg/m². In embodiments, theinfusion rate of about 110 to 130 mg/m² achieves a level of about 3mg/kg. In other embodiments, the antibody molecule can be administeredby intravenous infusion at a rate of less than 10 mg/min, e.g., lessthan or equal to 5 mg/min to reach a dose of about 1 to 100 mg/m², e.g.,about 5 to 50 mg/m², about 7 to 25 mg/m², or, about 10 mg/m². In someembodiments, the antibody is infused over a period of about 30 min. Itis to be noted that dosage values may vary with the type and severity ofthe condition to be alleviated. It is to be further understood that forany particular subject, specific dosage regimens should be adjusted overtime according to the individual need and the professional judgment ofthe person administering or supervising the administration of thecompositions, and that dosage ranges set forth herein are exemplary onlyand are not intended to limit the scope or practice of the claimedcomposition.

The pharmaceutical compositions herein may include a “therapeuticallyeffective amount” or a “prophylactically effective amount” of anantibody molecule. A “therapeutically effective amount” refers to anamount effective, at dosages and for periods of time necessary, toachieve the desired therapeutic result. A therapeutically effectiveamount of the modified antibody or antibody fragment may vary accordingto factors such as the disease state, age, sex, and weight of theindividual, and the ability of the antibody or antibody portion toelicit a desired response in the individual. A therapeutically effectiveamount is also one in which any toxic or detrimental effects of theantibody molecule is outweighed by the therapeutically beneficialeffects. A “therapeutically effective dosage” preferably inhibits ameasurable parameter by at least about 20%, more preferably by at leastabout 40%, even more preferably by at least about 60%, and still morepreferably by at least about 80% relative to untreated subjects. Themeasurable parameter may be, e.g., tumor growth rate or pathogen growthrate. The ability of a compound to inhibit a measurable parameter can beevaluated in an animal model system predictive of efficacy in thecorresponding human disease. Alternatively, this property of acomposition can be evaluated by examining the ability of the compound toinhibit, such inhibition in vitro by assays known to the skilledpractitioner.

A “prophylactically effective amount” refers to an amount effective, atdosages and for periods of time necessary, to achieve the desiredprophylactic result. Typically, since a prophylactic dose is used insubjects prior to or at an earlier stage of disease, theprophylactically effective amount will be less than the therapeuticallyeffective amount.

Also within this disclosure is a kit comprising an antibody moleculedescribed herein. The kit can include one or more other elementsincluding: instructions for use; other reagents, e.g., a label, atherapeutic agent, or an agent useful for chelating, or otherwisecoupling, an antibody to a label or therapeutic agent, or aradioprotective composition; devices or other materials for preparingthe antibody molecule for administration; pharmaceutically acceptablecarriers; and devices or other materials for administration to asubject.

Uses of Anti-TIM-3 Antibody Molecules

TIM-3 is a coinhibitory protein expressed, e.g., on activated T helper 1(Th1) CD4+ and cytotoxic CD8+ T cells that secrete IFN-γ. TIM-3 islargely co-expressed on PD-1+ exhausted T cells as shown in preclinicalmodels of cancer and viral exhaustion. Co-blockade of these pathways canrestore effector T cell function (e.g., IFN-γ secretion, proliferation)in several models as well as human PBMCs derived from metastaticmelanoma patients and patients with HIV or HCV. TIM-3 is also enrichedon Fox-P3+ natural regulatory T cells (and FoxP3-negative inducedregulatory cells), and the nTreg expression correlates with diseaseseverity in NSCLC, hepatocellular and ovarian carcinoma. In mousemodels, TIM-3+ nTregs have been shown to be more immunosuppressive(secrete higher levels of IL-10 and TGF-β).

In addition, TIM-3 can play an important role on innate immune cells,including NK cells, monocytes/macrophages and dendritic cells (DCs).TIM-3 is constitutively expressed on macrophages and DCs, and blockadecan enhance TNF-α secretion from human monocytes and increase NF-κBexpression in a mouse dendritic cell line. TIM-3 can also contribute toexpansion of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs). Constitutiveexpression of TIM-3 on macrophages is associated with less IL-12secretion, and downregulation of TIM-3 post-TLR activation can lead toenhanced IL-12 and subsequent effector T cell responses.

The antibody molecules disclosed herein have in vitro and in vivodiagnostic, as well as therapeutic and prophylactic utilities. In someembodiments, the antibody molecules modulate (e.g., enhance or inhibit)an immune response in a subject by binding TIM-3. For example, thesemolecules can be administered to cells in culture, in vitro or ex vivo,or to a subject, e.g., a human subject, e.g., in vivo, to modulate(e.g., enhance or inhibit) immunity.

Accordingly, in some aspects, the disclosure provides a method ofmodifying an immune response in a subject comprising administering tothe subject an antibody molecule described herein, such that the immuneresponse in the subject is modified. In some embodiments, the immuneresponse is enhanced, stimulated or up-regulated. In certainembodiments, the immune response is inhibited or downregulated. Forexample, these antibody molecules can be administered to cells inculture, e.g. in vitro or ex vivo, or in a subject, e.g., in vivo, totreat, prevent, and/or diagnose a variety of disorders, such as cancers,immune disorders, and infectious diseases.

As used herein, the term “subject” is intended to include human andnon-human animals. In some embodiments, the subject is a human subject,e.g., a human patient having a disorder or condition characterized byabnormal TIM-3 functioning. Generally, the subject has at least someTIM-3 protein, including the TIM-3 epitope that is bound by the antibodymolecule, e.g., a high enough level of the protein and epitope tosupport antibody binding to TIM-3. The term “non-human animals” includesmammals and non-mammals, such as non-human primates. In someembodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the subject isa human patient in need of enhancement of an immune response. Themethods and compositions described herein are suitable for treatinghuman patients having a disorder that can be treated by modulating(e.g., augmenting or inhibiting) an immune response.

Methods of Treating Immune Disorders

TIM-3 is a transmembrane receptor expressed on T cells, e.g., CD4+ Tcells, CD8+ T cells, regulatory T cells, and differentiated Th1 cells.TIM-3-dependent trafficking of Th1 cells to target tissue can beinhibited with soluble TIM-3 (see U.S. Pat. No. 7,470,428). Accordingly,modulating TIM-3 function may reduce T-cell trafficking into a targettissue, e.g., in subjects with autoimmune disease. TIM-3 may play animportant role in the induction of autoimmune diseases by regulatingmacrophage activation and/or function. Accordingly, in certainembodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules described herein aresuitable for use in downregulating an unwanted immune response, e.g.,treating autoimmune diseases.

Furthermore, as described in the Examples herein, anti-TIM-3 antibodiescan stimulate NK cell-mediated killing of target cells, and can enhanceIFN-gamma secretion and proliferation of CD4+ T cells. Accordingly, incertain embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules described hereinare suitable for use in stimulating a desired immune response, e.g., animmune response against a cancer cell or pathogen.

The anti-TIM-3 antibodies described herein may be used for treatingimmune disorders, especially T lymphocyte-related disorders, including,but not limited to, chronic inflammatory diseases and disorders, such asCrohn's disease, reactive arthritis, including Lyme disease,insulin-dependent diabetes, organ-specific autoimmunity, includingmultiple sclerosis, Hashimoto's thyroiditis and Grave's disease, contactdermatitis, psoriasis, graft rejection, graft versus host disease,sarcoidosis, atopic conditions, such as asthma and allergy, includingallergic rhinitis, gastrointestinal allergies, including food allergies,eosinophilia, conjunctivitis, glomerular nephritis (e.g., IgAnephropathy), certain pathogen susceptibilities such as helminthic(e.g., leishmaniasis).

In certain embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody is used to modulate Tcell function, e.g., CD4+ T cells, CD8+ T cells, Tregs, Th17, and Th1function. In some embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule causesTIM-3 blockade, and is used to treat an immune disorder which is not aTh1-dependent disease (see Schroll et al., Am J Pathol 2010 April;176(4):1716-1742). In certain embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule does not cause TIM-3 blockade.

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides methods ofadministering an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule, resulting in promoting orreducing T-cell trafficking to a target tissue, promoting or inhibitingantigen-presenting cell (APC) activation.

In some embodiments the subject is in need of treatment for anautoimmune disease. Autoimmune disease include those in which asubject's own antibodies react with host tissue or in which immuneeffector T cells are autoreactive to endogenous self-peptides and causedestruction of tissue. Thus an immune response is mounted against asubject's own antigens, referred to as self-antigens. Autoimmunediseases include but are not limited to rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn'sdisease e.g., pediatric Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, systemiclupus erythematosus (SLE), autoimmune encephalomyelitis, myastheniagravis (MG), Hashimoto's thyroiditis, Goodpasture's syndrome, pemphigus(e.g., pemphigus vulgaris), Grave's disease, autoimmune hemolyticanemia, autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura, scleroderma withanti-collagen antibodies, mixed connective tissue disease, polymyositis,pernicious anemia, idiopathic Addison's disease, autoimmune-associatedinfertility, glomerulonephritis (e.g., crescentic glomerulonephritis,proliferative glomerulonephritis), bullous pemphigoid, Sjogren'ssyndrome, insulin resistance, autoimmune diabetes mellitus (type 1diabetes mellitus; insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus),atherosclerosis, and Alzheimer's disease.

Methods of Treating Cancer

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides methods ofadministering an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule to treat cancer. While notwishing to be bound by theory, in some embodiments, an anti-TIM-3antibody molecule stimulates a patient's immune system to recognize anddestroy cancer cells, thereby treating the cancer. In some embodiments,the cancer to be treated expresses TIM-3, and the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule targets the cancer cells or cells in the cancermicroenvironment.

In some aspects, the present disclosure relates to treatment of asubject in vivo using an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule such that growthof cancerous tumors is inhibited. An anti-TIM-3 antibody may be usedalone to inhibit the growth of cancerous tumors. Alternatively, ananti-TIM-3 antibody may be used in combination with one or more of: astandard cancer treatment (e.g., for cancer or infectious disorders), oranother antibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, an immunomodulator(e.g., an activator of a costimulatory molecule or an inhibitor of aninhibitory molecule); a vaccine, (e.g., a cancer vaccine); or otherforms of cellular immunotherapy, as described below.

Accordingly, in some embodiments, the disclosure provides a method ofinhibiting growth of tumor cells in a subject, comprising administeringto the subject a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-TIM-3antibody molecule described herein.

In some embodiments, the methods are suitable for the treatment ofcancer in vivo.

Examples of solid tumorsinclude malignancies, e.g., sarcomas, adenocarcinomas, and carcinomas,of the various organ systems, such as those affecting lung, breast,lymphoid, gastrointestinal (e.g., colon), genitals and genitourinarytract (e.g., renal, urothelial, bladder cells), pharynx, CNS (e.g.,brain, neural or glial cells), skin (e.g., melanoma), and pancreas, aswell as adenocarcinomas which include malignancies such as most coloncancers, rectal cancer, renal-cell carcinoma, liver cancer, non-smallcell-carcinoma of the lung, cancer of the small intestine and cancer ofthe esophagus. Methods and compositions disclosed herein are also usefulfor treating metastatic lesions associated with the aforementionedcancers.

While not wishing to be bound by theory, in some embodiments, a patientis more likely to respond to treatment with an immunomodulator(optionally in combination with one or more agents as described herein)if the patient has a cancer that highly expresses PD-L1, and/or thecancer is infiltrated by anti-tumor immune cells, e.g., TILs. Theanti-tumor immunce cells may be positive for CD8, PD-L1, and/or IFN-γ;thus levels of CD8, PD-L1, and/or IFN-γ can serve as a readout forlevels of TILs in the microenvironment. In certain embodiments, thecancer microenvironment is referred to as triple-positive forPD-L1/CD8/IFN-γ.

Accordingly, in certain aspects, this application provides methods ofdetermining whether a tumor sample is positive for one or more of PD-L1,CD8, and IFN-γ, and if the tumor sample is positive for one or more,e.g., two, or all three, of the markers, then administering to thepatient a therapeutically effective amount of an anti-PD-1 antibodymolecule, optionally in combination with one or more otherimmunomodulators or anti-cancer agents, e.g., an anti-TIM3 antibody asdescribed herein.

In the following indications, a large fraction of patients aretriple-positive for PD-L1/CD8/IFN-γ: Lung cancer (squamous); lung cancer(adenocarcinoma); head and neck cancer; stomach cancer; NSCLC; HNSCC;gastric cancers (e.g., MSIhi and/or EBV+); CRC (e.g., MSIhi);nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC); cervical cancer (e.g., squamous); thyroidcancer e.g., papillary thyroid; melanoma; TN breast cancer; and DLBCL(Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma). In breast cancer generally and in coloncancer generally, a moderate fraction of patients is triple-positive forPD-L1/CD8/IFN-γ. In the following indications, a small fraction ofpatients are triple-positive for PD-L1/CD8/IFN-γ: ER+ breast cancer, andpancreatic cancer. These findings are discussed further in Example 9.Regardless of whether a large or small fraction of patients istriple-positive for these markers, screening the patients for thesemarkers allows one to identify a fraction of patients that has anespecially high likelihood of responding favorably to therapy with aPD-1 antibody (e.g., a blocking PD-1 antibody), optionally incombination with one or more other immunomodulators (e.g., an anti-TIM-3antibody molecule described herein, an anti-LAG-3 antibody molecule, oran anti-PD-L1 antibody molecule) and/or anti-cancer agents, e.g., thoselisted in Table 6 and disclosed in the publications listed in Table 6.

In some embodiments, the cancer sample is classified as triple-positivefor PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ. This measurement can roughly be broken down into twothresholds: whether an individual cell is classified as positive, andwhether the sample as a whole is classified as positive. First, one canmeasure, within an individual cell, the level of PD-L1, CD8, and/orIFN-γ. In some embodiments, a cell that is positive for one or more ofthese markers is a cell that has a higher level of the marker comparedto a control cell or a reference value. For example, in someembodiments, a high level of PD-L1 in a given cell is a level higherthan the level of PD-L1 in a corresponding non-cancerous tissue in thepatient. As another example, in some embodiments, a high level of CD8 orIFN-γ in a given cell is a level of that protein typically seen in aTIL. Second, one can also measure the percentage of cells in the samplethat are positive for PD-L1, CD8, and/or IFN-γ. (It is not necessary fora single cell to express all three markers.) In some embodiments, atriple positive sample is one that has a high percentage of cells, e.g.,higher than a reference value or higher than a control sample, that arepositive for these markers.

In other embodiments, one can measure the levels of PDL1, CD8, and/orIFN-γ overall in the sample. In this case, a high level of CD8 or IFN-γin the sample can be the level of that protein typically seen in a tumorinfiltrated with TIL. Similarly, a high level of PD-L1 can be the levelof that protein typically seen in a tumor sample, e.g., a tumormicroenvironment.

The identification of subsets of patients that are triple-positive forPD-L1/CD8/IFN-γ, as shown in Example 10 herein, reveals certainsub-populations of patients that are likely to be especially responsiveto PD-1 antibody therapy. For instance, many IM-TN (immunomodulatory,triple negative) breast cancer patients are triple-positive forPDL1/CD8/IFN-γ. IM-TN breast cancer is described in, e.g., Brian D.Lehmann et al., “Identification of human triple-negative breast cancersubtypes and preclinical models for selection of targeted therapies”, JClin Invest. Jul. 1, 2011; 121(7): 2750-2767. Triple-negative breastcancers are those that do not express estrogen receptor (ER),progesterone receptor (PR) and Her2/neu. These cancers are difficult totreat because they are typically not responsive to agents that targetER, PR, and Her2/neu. Triple-negative breast cancers can be furthersubdivided into different classes, one of which is immunomodulatory. Asdescribed in Lehmann et al., IM-TN breast cancer is enriched for factorsinvolved in immune cell processes, for example, one or more of immunecell signaling (e.g., TH1/TH2 pathway, NK cell pathway, B cell receptorsignaling pathway, DC pathway, and T cell receptor signaling), cytokinesignaling (e.g., cytokine pathway, IL-12 pathway, and IL-7 pathway),antigen processing and presentation, signaling through core immunesignal transduction pathways (e.g., NFKB, TNF, and JAK/STAT signaling),genes involved in T-cell function, immune transcription, interferon(IFN) response and antigen processing. Accordingly, in some embodiments,the cancer treated is a cancer that is, or is determined to be, positivefor one or more marker of IM-TN breast cancer, e.g., a factor thatpromotes one or more of immune cell signaling (e.g., TH1/TH2 pathway, NKcell pathway, B cell receptor signaling pathway, DC pathway, and T cellreceptor signaling), cytokine signaling (e.g., cytokine pathway, IL-12pathway, and IL-7 pathway), antigen processing and presentation,signaling through core immune signal transduction pathways (e.g., NFKB,TNF, and JAK/STAT signaling), genes involved in T-cell function, immunetranscription, interferon (IFN) response and antigen processing.

As another example, it is shown herein that a subset of colon cancerpatients having high MSI (microsatellite instability) is alsotriple-positive for PD-L1/CD8/IFN-γ. Accordingly, in some embodiments, aPD-1 antibody, optionally in combination with one or moreimmunomodulators such as a TIM-3 antibody described herein, a LAG-3antibody, or PD-L1 antibody, and one or more anti-cancer agents, e.g.,an anti-cancer agent described in Table 6 or in a publication in Table6, is administered to a patient who has, or who is identified as having,colon cancer with high MSI, thereby treating the cancer. In someembodiments, a cell with high MSI is a cell having MSI at a level higherthan a reference value or a control cell, e.g., a non-cancerous cell ofthe same tissue type as the cancer.

As another example, it is shown herein that a subset of gastric cancerpatients having high MSI, and/or which is EBV+, is also triple-positivefor PD-L1/CD8/IFN-γ. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a PD-1 antibody,optionally in combination with one or more immunomodulators such as aTIM-3 antibody described herein, a LAG-3 antibody, or PD-L1 antibody,and one or more anti-cancer agents, e.g., an anti-cancer agent describedin Table 6 or in a publication in Table 6 is administered to a patientwho has, or who is identified as having, gastric cancer with high MSIand/or EBV+, thereby treating the cancer. In some embodiments, a cellwith high MSI is a cell having MSI at a level higher than a referencevalue or a control cell, e.g., a non-cancerous cell of the same tissuetype as the cancer.

Additionally disclosed herein are methods of assaying a cancer forPD-L1, and then treating the cancer with a PD-1 antibody, optionally incombination with one or more immunomodulators such as a TIM-3 antibodydescribed herein, a LAG-3 antibody, or PD-L1 antibody. As described inExample 10 herein, a cancer sample can be assayed for PD-L1 proteinlevels or mRNA levels. A sample having levels of PD-L1 (protein or mRNA)higher than a reference value or a control cell (e.g., a non-cancerouscell) can be classified as PD-L1 positive. Accordingly, in someembodiments, a PD-1 antibody (optionally in combination with one or moreanti-cancer agents, optionally in combination with one or moreimmunomodulators such as a TIM-3 antibody described herein, a LAG-3antibody, or PD-L1 antibody) is administered to a patient who has, orwho is identified as having, a cancer that is PD-L1 positive. The cancermay be, e.g., non-small cell lung (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma (ACA), NSCLCsquamous cell carcinoma (SCC), or hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Based on, e.g, Example 9 herein, it was found that certain gastriccancers that are triple-positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ are also positivefor PIK3CA. Accordingly, in some embodiments, a cancer can be treatedwith an anti-PD-1 antibody molecule (optionally in combination with oneor more immunomodulators, e.g., an anti-LAG-3 antibody molecule, ananti-TIM-3 antibody molecule as described herein, or an anti-PD-L1antibody molecule) and an agent that inhibits PIK3CA. Exemplary agentsin this category are described in Stein RC (September 2001). “Prospectsfor phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibition as a cancer treatment”.Endocrine-related Cancer 8 (3): 237-48 and Marone R, Cmiljanovic V,Giese B, Wymann MP (January 2008). “Targeting phosphoinositide 3-kinase:moving towards therapy”. Biochimica et Biophysica Acta 1784 (1): 159-85.

Based on, e.g, Example 9 herein, CRC, e.g., a patient that has (or isidentified as having) MSI-high CRC may be treated with a PD-1 antibody,optionally in combination with a therapeutic that targets one or more ofTIM-3, e.g., anti-TIM-3 antibody described herein, LAG-3, RNF43, andBRAF. For instance, these cancers may be treated with a PD-1 antibody,optionally in combination with one or more therapeutics that target oneor more of TIM-3, LAG-3, PD-1, RNF43, and BRAF. In embodiments, the oneor more therapeutics include an immunomodulators such as an anti-TIM-3antibody described herein, an anti-LAG-3 antibody molecule, and ananti-cancer agent described in Table 6 or a publication listed in Table6. LAG-3 inhibitors, e.g., antibodies, are described herein. RNF43 canbe inhibited, e.g., with an antibody, small molecule (e.g.,2-(2′,3-dimethyl-[2,4′-bipyridin]-5-yl)-N-(5-(pyrazin-2-yl)pyridin-2-yl)acetamide(Compound A28)), siRNA, or a Rspo ligand or derivative thereof. BRAFinhibitors (e.g., vemurafenib or dabrafenib) are described herein.

Combination of Anti-TIM-3 Antibodies with Cancer Vaccines

Antibody molecules to TIM-3 can be combined with an immunogenic agent,such as cancerous cells, purified tumor antigens (including recombinantproteins, peptides, and carbohydrate molecules), cells, and cellstransfected with genes encoding immune stimulating cytokines (He et al(2004) J. Immunol. 173:4919-28). Non-limiting examples of tumor vaccinesthat can be used include peptides of melanoma antigens, such as peptidesof gp100, MAGE antigens, Trp-2, MART1 and/or tyrosinase, or tumor cellstransfected to express the cytokine GM-CSF, DNA-based vaccines,RNA-based vaccines, and viral transduction-based vaccines. The cancervaccine may be prophylactic or therapeutic.

In some embodiments, therapy with an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule iscombined with a vaccination protocol. Many experimental strategies forvaccination against tumors have been devised (see Rosenberg, S., 2000,Development of Cancer Vaccines, ASCO Educational Book Spring: 60-62;Logothetis, C., 2000, ASCO Educational Book Spring: 300-302; Khayat, D.2000, ASCO Educational Book Spring: 414-428; Foon, K. 2000, ASCOEducational Book Spring: 730-738; see also Restifo, N. and Sznol, M.,Cancer Vaccines, Ch. 61, pp. 3023-3043 in DeVita, V. et al. (eds.),1997, Cancer: Principles and Practice of Oncology. Fifth Edition). Inone of these strategies, a vaccine is prepared using autologous orallogeneic tumor cells. These cellular vaccines have been shown to bemost effective when the tumor cells are transduced to express GM-CSF.GM-CSF has been shown to be a potent activator of antigen presentationfor tumor vaccination (Dranoff et al. (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci.U.S.A. 90: 3539-43).

Anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules can be used in conjunction with acollection of recombinant proteins and/or peptides expressed in a tumorin order to generate an immune response to these proteins. Theseproteins are normally viewed by the immune system as self antigens andare therefore tolerant to them. The tumor antigen may also include theprotein telomerase, which is required for the synthesis of telomeres ofchromosomes and which is expressed in more than 85% of human cancers andin only a limited number of somatic tissues (Kim, N et al. (1994)Science 266: 2011-2013). (These somatic tissues may be protected fromimmune attack by various means). Tumor antigens may also be“neo-antigens” expressed in cancer cells because of somatic mutationsthat alter protein sequence or create fusion proteins between twounrelated sequences (e.g., bcr-abl in the Philadelphia chromosome), oridiotype from B cell tumors.

Other tumor vaccines may include the proteins from viruses implicated inhuman cancers such a Human Papilloma Viruses (HPV), Hepatitis Viruses(HBV and HCV) and Kaposi's Herpes Sarcoma Virus (KHSV), and Epstein-Barrvirus (EBV). Another form of tumor specific antigen which may be used inconjunction with an anti-TIM-3 antibody is purified heat shock proteins(HSP) isolated from the tumor tissue itself. These heat shock proteinscontain fragments of proteins from the tumor cells and these HSPs arehighly efficient at delivery to antigen presenting cells for elicitingtumor immunity (Suot, R & Srivastava, P (1995) Science 269:1585-1588;Tamura, Y. et al. (1997) Science 278:117-120).

Dendritic cells (DC) are potent antigen presenting cells that can beused to prime antigen-specific responses. DC's can be produced ex vivoand loaded with various protein and peptide antigens as well as tumorcell extracts (Nestle, F. et al. (1998) Nature Medicine 4: 328-332). DCsmay also be transduced by genetic means to express these tumor antigensas well. DCs have also been fused directly to tumor cells for thepurposes of immunization (Kugler, A. et al. (2000) Nature Medicine6:332-336). As a method of vaccination, DC immunization may beeffectively combined with an anti-TIM-3 therapy to activate more potentanti-tumor responses.

Alternatively or in combination, the combination further includes aninhibitor or activator of an immune checkpoint modulator, e.g., a LAG-3inhibitor (e.g., an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule), a PD-L1 inhibitor(e.g., an anti-PD-L1 antibody molecule), a PD-1 inhibitor (e.g., ananti-PD-1 antibody molecule), or a CTLA-4 inhibitor (e.g., ananti-CTLA-4 antibody), or any combination thereof.

TIM-3 blockade may also be combined with a standard cancer treatment.TIM-3 blockade may be effectively combined with chemotherapeuticregimes. In these instances, it may be possible to reduce the dose ofchemotherapeutic reagent administered (Mokyr, M. et al. (1998) CancerResearch 58: 5301-5304). In certain embodiments, the methods andcompositions described herein are administered in combination with oneor more of other antibody molecules, chemotherapy, other anti-cancertherapy (e.g., targeted anti-cancer therapies, or oncolytic drugs),cytotoxic agents, immune-based therapies (e.g., cytokines), surgicaland/or radiation procedures. Exemplary cytotoxic agents that can beadministered in combination with include antimicrotubule agents,topoisomerase inhibitors, anti-metabolites, mitotic inhibitors,alkylating agents, anthracyclines, vinca alkaloids, intercalatingagents, agents capable of interfering with a signal transductionpathway, agents that promote apoptosis, proteosome inhibitors, andradiation (e.g., local or whole body irradiation).

Alternatively, or in combination with the aforesaid combinations, themethods and compositions described herein can be administered incombination with one or more of: an immunomodulator (e.g., an activatorof a costimulatory molecule or an inhibitor of an inhibitory molecule);a vaccine, e.g., a therapeutic cancer vaccine; or other forms ofcellular immunotherapy.

Exemplary non-limiting combinations and uses of the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules include the following.

In certain embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administeredin combination with a modulator of a costimulatory molecule or aninhibitory molecule, e.g., a co-inhibitory ligand or receptor.

In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered incombination with a modulator, e.g., agonist, of a costimulatorymolecule. In one embodiment, the agonist of the costimulatory moleculeis chosen from an agonist (e.g., an agonistic antibody orantigen-binding fragment thereof, or soluble fusion) of OX40, CD2, CD27,CDS, ICAM-1, LFA-1 (CD11a/CD18), ICOS (CD278), 4-1BB (CD137), GITR,CD30, CD40, BAFFR, HVEM, CD7, LIGHT, NKG2C, SLAMF7, NKp80, CD160, B7-H3or CD83 ligand.

In another embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is used incombination with a costimulatory molecule, e.g., an agonist associatedwith a positive signal that includes a costimulatory domain of CD28,CD27, ICOS and GITR.

Exemplary GITR agonists include, e.g., GITR fusion proteins andanti-GITR antibodies (e.g., bivalent anti-GITR antibodies), such as, aGITR fusion protein described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,111,090, EuropeanPatent No.: 090505B1, U.S. Pat. No. 8,586,023, PCT Publication Nos.: WO2010/003118 and 2011/090754, or an anti-GITR antibody described, e.g.,in U.S. Pat. No. 7,025,962, European Patent No.: 1947183B1, U.S. Pat.No. 7,812,135, U.S. Pat. No. 8,388,967, U.S. Pat.

No. 7,618,632, and PCTPublication No.: WO 2011/051726.

In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered incombination with an inhibitor of an immune checkpoint molecule (orimmune inhibitory molecule). The term “immune checkpoints” as usedherein refers to a group of molecules on the cell surface of immunecells, e.g., CD4 and CD8 T cells that can serve as “brakes” todown-modulate or inhibit an immune response, e.g., an anti-tumor immuneresponse. Immune checkpoint molecules include, but are not limited to,Programmed Death 1 (PD-1), PD-L1, Cytotoxic T-Lymphocyte Antigen 4(CTLA-4), B7-H1, B7-H3, B7-H4, OX-40, 4-1BB (CD137), CD40, T-cellimmunoglobulin domain and mucin domain-3 (TIM-3), andLymphocyte-activation gene 3 (LAG-3), among others. Immunotherapeuticagents that can act as inhibitors of immune checkpoint molecules usefulin combination with the anti-PD-1 molecules described herein, include,but are not limited to, inhibitors of PD-L1, PD-L2, CTLA-4, TIM-3,LAG-3, VISTA, BTLA, TIGIT, LAIR1, CD160, 2B4, CEACAM (e.g., CEACAM-1,CEACM-3, and/or CEACAM-5), and/or TGFR beta. Inhibition of an immuneinhibitory molecule can be performed by inhibition at the DNA, RNA orprotein level. In embodiments, an inhibitory nucleic acid (e.g., adsRNA, siRNA or shRNA), can be used to inhibit expression of aninhibitory molecule. In other embodiments, the inhibitor of aninhibitory signal is, a polypeptide e.g., a soluble ligand, or anantibody or antigen-binding fragment thereof, that binds to theinhibitory molecule.

In one embodiment, the inhibitor is a soluble ligand (e.g., a CTLA-4-Igor a TIM-3-Ig), or an antibody or antibody fragment that binds toCTLA-4. For example, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule can beadministered in combination with an anti-CTLA-4 antibody, e.g.,ipilimumab, for example, to treat a cancer (e.g., a cancer chosen from:a melanoma, e.g., a metastatic melanoma; a lung cancer, e.g., anon-small cell lung carcinoma; or a prostate cancer). Exemplaryanti-CTLA-4 antibodies include Tremelimumab (IgG2 monoclonal antibodyavailable from Pfizer, formerly known as ticilimumab, CP-675,206); andIpilimumab (CTLA-4 antibody, also known as MDX-010, CAS No.477202-00-9). In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule isadministered after treatment, e.g., after treatment of a melanoma, withan anti-CTLA-4 antibody (e.g., ipilimumab) with or without a BRAFinhibitor (e.g., vemurafenib or dabrafenib). Exemplary doses that can beuse include a dose of anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule of about 1 to 30mg/kg, 1 to 20 mg/kg, or 1 to 10 mg/kg, e.g., 3 mg/kg, and a dose of ananti-CTLA-4 antibody, e.g., ipilimumab, of about 3 mg/kg.

In certain embodiments, immune checkpoint molecules, e.g., PD-1, LAG-3,TIM-3, CEACAM-1/-5, can regulate T-cell function to promote tumoralimmune escape. Thus, the anti-TIM-3 antibodies described herein can beused in combination with one or more inhibitors of these immuneinhibitor molecules to enhance an anti-tumor response. The combinationof antibodies recited herein can be administered separately, e.g., asseparate antibodies, or linked, e.g., as a bispecific or trispecificantibody molecule.

In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered incombination with an anti-TIM-3 antibody or an antigen-binding fragmentthereof. In another embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule isadministered in combination with an anti-PD-1 antibody orantigen-binding fragment thereof. In yet other embodiments, theanti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered in combination with ananti-TIM-3 antibody and an anti-PD-1 antibody, or antigen-bindingfragments thereof. In one embodiment, a bispecific antibody thatincludes an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule and an anti-PD-1 or anti-TIM-3antibody, or antigen-binding fragment thereof, is administered. Incertain embodiments, the combination of antibodies recited herein isused to treat a cancer, e.g., a cancer as described herein (e.g., asolid tumor). The efficacy of the aforesaid combinations can be testedin animal models known in the art. For example, the animal models totest the effect of anti-PD-1 and anti-LAG-3 are described, e.g., in Wooet al. (2012) Cancer Res. 72(4):917-27).

In some embodiments, the inhibitors of the TIM-3 and PD-1 molecules(e.g., anti-TIM-3 and anti-PD-1 antibody molecules) are administered incombination, e.g., to treat cancer. In some embodiments, the subject isa patient who has progressed (e.g., experienced tumor growth) duringtherapy with a PD-1 inhibitor (e.g., an antibody molecule as describedherein) and/or a PD-L1 inhibitor (e.g., an anti-PD-L1 antibodymolecule). In some embodiments, therapy with the PD-1 antibody moleculeand/or PD-L1 antibody molecule is continued, and a TIM-3 immuneinhibitory molecule (e.g., antibody) is added to the therapy.

In other embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administeredin combination with a CEACAM inhibitor (e.g., CEACAM-1, CEACAM-3, and/orCEACAM-5 inhibitor). In one embodiment, the inhibitor of CEACAM is ananti-CEACAM antibody molecule. In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3antibody molecule is administered in combination with a CEACAM-1inhibitor, e.g., an anti-CEACAM-1 antibody molecule. In anotherembodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered incombination with a CEACAM-3 inhibitor, e.g., an anti-CEACAM-3 antibodymolecule. In another embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule isadministered in combination with a CEACAM-5 inhibitor, e.g., ananti-CEACAM-5 antibody molecule. Exemplary anti-CEACAM-1 antibodies aredescribed in WO 2010/125571, WO 2013/082366 and WO 2014/022332, e.g., amonoclonal antibody 34B1, 26H7, and 5F4; or a recombinant form thereof,as described in, e.g., US 2004/0047858, U.S. Pat. No. 7,132,255 and WO99/052552. In other embodiments, the anti-CEACAM antibody binds toCEACAM-5 as described in, e.g., Zheng et al. PLoS One. 2010 Sep. 2;5(9). pii: e12529 (DOI:10:1371/journal.pone.0021146), or crossreactswith CEACAM-1 and CEACAM-5 as described in, e.g., WO 2013/054331 and US2014/0271618.

Without wishing to be bound by theory, carcinoembryonic antigen celladhesion molecules (CEACAM), such as CEACAM-1 and CEACAM-5, are believedto mediate, at least in part, inhibition of an anti-tumor immuneresponse (see e.g., Markel et al. J Immunol. 2002 Mar. 15;168(6):2803-10; Markel et al. J Immunol. 2006 Nov. 1; 177(9):6062-71;Markel et al. Immunology. 2009 February; 126(2):186-200; Markel et al.Cancer Immunol Immunother. 2010 February; 59(2):215-30; Ortenberg et al.Mol Cancer Ther. 2012 June; 11(6):1300-10; Stern et al. J Immunol. 2005Jun. 1; 174(11):6692-701; Zheng et al. PLoS One. 2010 Sep. 2; 5(9). pii:e12529). For example, CEACAM-1 has been described as a heterophilicligand for TIM-3 and as playing a role in TIM-3-mediated T celltolerance and exhaustion (see e.g., WO 2014/022332; Huang, et al. (2014)Nature doi:10.1038/nature13848). In embodiments, co-blockade of CEACAM-1and TIM-3 has been shown to enhance an anti-tumor immune response inxenograft colorectal cancer models (see e.g., WO 2014/022332; Huang, etal. (2014), supra). In other embodiments, co-blockade of CEACAM-1 andPD-1 reduce T cell tolerance as described, e.g., in WO 2014/059251.Thus, CEACAM inhibitors can be used with the other immunomodulatorsdescribed herein (e.g., anti-PD-1 and/or anti-TIM-3 inhibitors) toenhance an immune response against a cancer, e.g., a melanoma, a lungcancer (e.g., NSCLC), a bladder cancer, a colon cancer an ovariancancer, and other cancers as described herein.

In some embodiments, the PD-1 and TIM-3 immune inhibitory molecules(e.g., antibody molecules) are administered in combination with eachother, e.g., to treat cancer. In some embodiments, the patient is apatient who progressed (e.g., experienced tumor growth) during therapywith a PD-1 inhibitor (e.g., an antibody molecule as described herein)and/or a PDL1 inhibitor (e.g., antibody molecule). In some embodiments,therapy with the PD-1 antibody molecule and/or PDL1 antibody molecule iscontinued, and a TIM-3 immune inhibitory molecule (e.g., antibody) isadded to the therapy.

In some embodiments, the TIM-3 and LAG-3 immune inhibitory molecules(e.g., antibody molecules) are administered in combination with eachother, e.g., to treat cancer. In some embodiments, the patient is apatient who progressed (e.g., experienced tumor growth) during therapywith a TIM-3 inhibitor (e.g., an antibody molecule as described herein)and/or a PD-1 inhibitor (e.g., antibody molecule). In some embodiments,therapy with the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule and/or PDL1 antibodymolecule is continued, and a LAG-3 immune inhibitory molecule (e.g.,antibody) is added to the therapy.

In other embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administeredin combination with a cytokine, e.g., interleukin-21, interleukin-2, orinterleukin 15. In certain embodiments, the combination of anti-TIM-3antibody molecule and cytokine described herein is used to treat acancer, e.g., a cancer as described herein (e.g., a solid tumor ormelanoma).

Exemplary immunomodulators that can be used in combination withanti-TIM-3 antibody molecules include, but are not limited to, e.g.,afutuzumab (available from Roche®); pegfilgrastim (Neulasta®);lenalidomide (CC-5013, Revlimid®); thalidomide (Thalomid®), actimid(CC4047); and cytokines, e.g., IL-21 or IRX-2 (mixture of humancytokines including interleukin 1, interleukin 2, and interferon γ, CAS951209-71-5, available from IRX Therapeutics).

In yet other embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is used incombination with an indolearnine-pyrrole 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) inhibitor(e.g., INCB24360) in a subject with advanced or metastatic cancer (e.g.,a patient with metastic and recurrent NSCL cancer).

In other embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules are administeredto a subject in conjunction with (e.g., before, simultaneously orfollowing) one or more of: bone marrow transplantation, T cell ablativetherapy using chemotherapy agents such as, fludarabine, external-beamradiation therapy (XRT), cyclophosphamide, and/or antibodies such asOKT3 or CAMPATH. In one embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody moleculesare administered following B-cell ablative therapy such as agents thatreact with CD20, e.g., Rituxan. For example, in one embodiment, subjectsmay undergo standard treatment with high dose chemotherapy followed byperipheral blood stem cell transplantation. In certain embodiments,following the transplant, subjects receive the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules. In an additional embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules are administered before or following surgery.

Another example of a combination is an anti-TIM-3 antibody incombination with decarbazine for the treatment of melanoma. Withoutbeing bound by theory, the combined use of TIM-3 blockade andchemotherapy is believed to be facilitated by cell death, that is aconsequence of the cytotoxic action of most chemotherapeutic compounds,which can result in increased levels of tumor antigen in the antigenpresentation pathway. Other combination therapies that may result insynergy with TIM-3 blockade through cell death are radiation, surgery,and hormone deprivation. Each of these protocols creates a source oftumor antigen in the host. Angiogenesis inhibitors may also be combinedwith TIM-3 blockade. Inhibition of angiogenesis leads to tumor celldeath which may feed tumor antigen into host antigen presentationpathways.

TIM-3 blocking antibodies can also be used in combination withbispecific antibodies. Bispecific antibodies can be used to target twoseparate antigens. For example anti-Fc receptor/anti tumor antigen(e.g., Her-2/neu) bispecific antibodies have been used to targetmacrophages to sites of tumor. This targeting may more effectivelyactivate tumor specific responses. The T cell arm of these responseswould be augmented by the use of TIM-3 blockade. Alternatively, antigenmay be delivered directly to DCs by the use of bispecific antibodieswhich bind to tumor antigen and a dendritic cell specific cell surfacemarker.

Tumors evade host immune surveillance by a large variety of mechanisms.Many of these mechanisms may be overcome by the inactivation of proteinswhich are expressed by the tumors and which are immunosuppressive. Theseinclude among others TGF-beta (Kehrl, J. et al. (1986) J. Exp. Med. 163:1037-1050), IL-10 (Howard, M. & O'Garra, A. (1992) Immunology Today 13:198-200), and Fas ligand (Hahne, M. et al. (1996) Science 274:1363-1365). Antibodies or antigen-binding fragments thereof to each ofthese entities may be used in combination with anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules to counteract the effects of the immunosuppressive agent andfavor tumor immune responses by the host.

Other antibodies which may be used to activate host immuneresponsiveness can be used in combination with anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules. These include molecules on the surface of dendritic cellswhich activate DC function and antigen presentation. Anti-CD40antibodies are able to substitute effectively for T cell helper activity(Ridge, J. et al. (1998) Nature 393: 474-478) and can be used inconjunction with PD-1 antibodies (Ito, N. et al. (2000) Immunobiology201 (5) 527-40). Antibodies to T cell costimulatory molecules such asCTLA-4 (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,811,097), OX-40 (Weinberg, A. et al.(2000) Immunol 164: 2160-2169), 4-1BB (Melero, I. et al. (1997) NatureMedicine 3: 682-685 (1997), and ICOS (Hutloff, A. et al. (1999) Nature397: 262-266) may also provide for increased levels of T cellactivation.

Additional exemplary standard of care treatments are described in thesection entitled “Combination Therapies” below.

In all of the methods described herein, TIM-3 blockade can be combinedwith other forms of immunotherapy such as cytokine treatment (e.g.,interferons, GM-CSF, G-CSF, IL-2, IL-21), or bispecific antibodytherapy, which provides for enhanced presentation of tumor antigens (seee.g., Holliger (1993) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448; Poljak(1994) Structure 2:1121-1123).

Methods of administering the antibody molecules are known in the art andare described below. Suitable dosages of the molecules used will dependon the age and weight of the subject and the particular drug used.Dosages and therapeutic regimens of the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule canbe determined by a skilled artisan. In certain embodiments, theanti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered by injection (e.g.,subcutaneously or intravenously) at a dose of about 1 to 30 mg/kg, e.g.,about 5 to 25 mg/kg, about 10 to 20 mg/kg, about 1 to 5 mg/kg, or about3 mg/kg. In some embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule isadministered at a dose of about 1 mg/kg, about 3 mg/kg, about 10 mg/kg,about 15 mg/kg, about 20 mg/kg, about 25 mg/kg or about 30 mg/kg. Insome embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered at adose of about 1-3 mg/kg, about 3-10 mg/kg, about 3-15 mg/kg, about 10-15mg/kg, about 10-20 mg/kg, about 10-25 mg/kg, or about 20-30 mg/kg. Insome embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered at adose of about 0.5-2, 2-4, 2-5, or 5-15 mg/kg. The dosing schedule canvary from e.g., once a week to once every 2, 3, or 4 weeks. In oneembodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is administered at a dosefrom about 10 to 20 mg/kg every other week.

The antibody molecules can be used by themselves or conjugated to asecond agent, e.g., a cytotoxic drug, radioisotope, or a protein, e.g.,a protein toxin or a viral protein. This method includes: administeringthe antibody molecule, alone or conjugated to a cytotoxic drug, to asubject requiring such treatment. The antibody molecules can be used todeliver a variety of therapeutic agents, e.g., a cytotoxic moiety, e.g.,a therapeutic drug, a radioisotope, molecules of plant, fungal, orbacterial origin, or biological proteins (e.g., protein toxins) orparticles (e.g., a recombinant viral particles, e.g.; via a viral coatprotein), or mixtures thereof.

Anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may also be combined with standard cancertreatments. For instance, anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may beeffectively combined with chemotherapeutic regimes. In these instances,it may be possible to reduce the dose of chemotherapeutic reagentadministered (Mokyr, M. et al. (1998) Cancer Research 58: 5301-5304). Anexample of such a combination is an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule incombination with decarbazine for the treatment of melanoma. Anotherexample of such a combination is an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule incombination with interleukin-2 (IL-2) for the treatment of melanoma. Insome embodiments the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule can be combined withIL-21. While not wishing to be bound by theory, one scientific rationalebehind the combined use of anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule therapy andchemotherapy is that cell death, that is a consequence of the cytotoxicaction of most chemotherapeutic compounds, should result in increasedlevels of tumor antigen in the antigen presentation pathway. Othercombination therapies that may result in synergy with anti-TIM-3antibody molecule therapy through cell death are radiation, surgery, andhormone deprivation. Each of these protocols creates a source of tumorantigen in the host. Angiogenesis inhibitors may also be combined withanti-TIM-3 antibody molecule therapy. Inhibition of angiogenesis leadsto tumor cell death which may feed tumor antigen into host antigenpresentation pathways. Anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules can also be used incombination with bispecific antibodies. Bispecific antibodies can beused to target two separate antigens. For example anti-Fc receptor/antitumor antigen (e.g., Her-2/neu) bispecific antibodies have been used totarget macrophages to sites of tumor. This targeting may moreeffectively activate tumor specific responses. The T cell arm of theseresponses would be augmented by the use of anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules. Alternatively, antigen may be delivered directly to DCs bythe use of bispecific antibodies which bind to tumor antigen and adendritic cell specific cell surface marker.

Tumors evade host immune surveillance by a large variety of mechanisms.Many of these mechanisms may be overcome by the inactivation of proteinswhich are expressed by the tumors and which are immunosuppressive. Theseinclude among others TGF-beta (Kehrl, J. et al. (1986) J. Exp. Med. 163:1037-1050), IL-10 (Howard, M. & O'Garra, A. (1992) Immunology Today 13:198-200), and Fas ligand (Hahne, M. et al. (1996) Science 274:1363-1365). Antibodies to each of these entities may be used incombination with anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules to counteract the effectsof the immunosuppressive agent and favor tumor immune responses by thehost.

Other antibodies which may be used to activate host immuneresponsiveness can be used in combination with anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules. These include molecules on the surface of dendritic cellswhich activate DC function and antigen presentation. Anti-CD40antibodies are able to substitute effectively for T cell helper activity(Ridge, J. et al. (1998) Nature 393: 474-478) and can be used inconjunction with anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules (see Ito, N. et al.(2000) Immunobiology 201 (5) 527-40). Activating antibodies to T cellcostimulatory molecules such as CTLA-4 (e.g., U.S. Pat. No. 5,811,097),OX-40 (Weinberg, A. et al. (2000) Immunol 164: 2160-2169), 4-1BB(Melero, I. et al. (1997) Nature Medicine 3: 682-685 (1997), and ICOS(Hutloff, A. et al. (1999) Nature 397: 262-266) may also provide forincreased levels of T cell activation.

In some embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule (and optionally other immunomodulator(s)) are administeredfirst, and the targeted anti-cancer agent is administered second. Thelength of time between administration of the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule and the targeted anti-cancer agent can be, e.g., 10, 20, or 30minutes, 1, 2, 4, 6, or 12 hours, or 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7 days, or anyspan of time within this range. In certain embodiments, the anti-TIM-3antibody molecule is administered repeatedly over a period of time(e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 days, or 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, or 20 weeks, orany span of time within this range) before the targeted anti-canceragent is administered. In other embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecule and the targeted anti-cancer agent are administered atsubstantially the same time.

Methods of Treating Infectious Diseases

Other methods of the invention are used to treat patients that have beenexposed to particular toxins or pathogens. Based on, at least, theExamples herein, anti-TIM-3 antibodies can stimulate NK cell mediatedkilling of target cells and can enhances IFN-gamma secretion andproliferation of CD4+ T cells. Accordingly, in certain embodiments, theanti-TIM-3 antibody molecules described herein are suitable for use instimulating an immune response against an infectious agent. Accordingly,another aspect of the invention provides a method of treating aninfectious disease in a subject comprising administering to the subjectan anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule, such that the subject is treated forthe infectious disease. In the treatment of infection (e.g., acuteand/or chronic), administration of the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules canbe combined with conventional treatments in addition to or in lieu ofstimulating natural host immune defenses to infection. Natural hostimmune defenses to infection include, but are not limited toinflammation, fever, antibody-mediated host defense,T-lymphocyte-mediated host defenses, including lymphokine secretion andcytotoxic T-cells (especially during viral infection), complementmediated lysis and opsonization (facilitated phagocytosis), andphagocytosis. The ability of the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules toreactivate dysfunctional T-cells would be useful to treat chronicinfections, in particular those in which cell-mediated immunity isimportant for complete recovery.

Certain methods described herein are used to treat patients that havebeen exposed to particular toxins or pathogens. Some aspects provides amethod of treating an infectious disease in a subject comprisingadministering to the subject an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule, such thatthe subject is treated for the infectious disease.

Similar to its application to tumors as discussed in the previoussection, aIn embodiments, the anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules can be usedalone, or as an adjuvant, in combination with vaccines, to stimulate theimmune response to, e.g., pathogens or toxins. Examples of pathogens forwhich this therapeutic approach may be particularly useful, includepathogens for which there is currently no effective vaccine, orpathogens for which conventional vaccines are less than completelyeffective. These include, but are not limited to HIV, Hepatitis (A, B, &C), Influenza, Herpes, Giardia, Malaria, Leishmania, Staphylococcusaureus, Pseudomonas Aeruginosa. Anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule therapy isalso useful against established infections by agents such as HIV thatpresent altered antigens over the course of the infections.

Accordingly, in some embodiments an anti-TIM-3 antibody molecule is usedto treat a subject that has an infection or is at risk of having aninfection. An infection refers to, e.g., a disease or conditionattributable to the presence in a host of a foreign organism or agentthat reproduces within the host. Infections typically involve breach ofa normal mucosal or other tissue barrier by an infectious organism oragent. A subject that has an infection is a subject having objectivelymeasurable infectious organisms or agents present in the subject's body.A subject at risk of having an infection is a subject that ispredisposed to develop an infection. Such a subject can include, forexample, a subject with a known or suspected exposure to an infectiousorganism or agent. A subject at risk of having an infection also caninclude a subject with a condition associated with impaired ability tomount an immune response to an infectious organism or agent, e.g., asubject with a congenital or acquired immunodeficiency, a subjectundergoing radiation therapy or chemotherapy, a subject with a burninjury, a subject with a traumatic injury, a subject undergoing surgeryor other invasive medical or dental procedure.

Infections are broadly classified as bacterial, viral, fungal, orparasitic based on the category of infectious organism or agentinvolved. Other less common types of infection include, e.g., infectionsinvolving rickettsiae, mycoplasmas, and agents causing scrapie, bovinespongiform encephalopthy (BSE), and prion diseases (e.g., kuru andCreutzfeldt-Jacob disease). Examples of bacteria, viruses, fungi, andparasites which cause infection are well known in the art. An infectioncan be acute, subacute, chronic, or latent, and it can be localized orsystemic. Furthermore, an infection can be predominantly intracellularor extracellular during at least one phase of the infectious organism'sor agent's life cycle in the host.

Examples of viruses that have been found to cause infections in humansinclude but are not limited to: Retroviridae (e.g., humanimmunodeficiency viruses, such as HIV-1 (also referred to as HTLV-III),HIV-2, LAV or HTLV-III/LAV, or HIV-III, and other isolates, such asHIV-LP; Picornaviridae (e.g., polio viruses, hepatitis A virus;enteroviruses, human Coxsackie viruses, rhinoviruses, echoviruses);Calciviridae (e.g., strains that cause gastroenteritis); Togaviridae(e.g., equine encephalitis viruses, rubella viruses); Flaviviridae(e.g., dengue viruses, encephalitis viruses, yellow fever viruses);Coronaviridae (e.g., coronaviruses); Rhabdoviridae (e.g., vesicularstomatitis viruses, rabies viruses); Filoviridae (e.g., ebola viruses);Paramyxoviridae (e.g., parainfluenza viruses, mumps virus, measlesvirus, respiratory syncytial virus); Orthomyxoviridae (e.g., influenzaviruses); Bungaviridae (e.g., Hantaan viruses, bunga viruses,phleboviruses and Nairo viruses); Arena viridae (hemorrhagic feverviruses); Reoviridae (e.g., reoviruses, orbiviurses and rotaviruses);Birnaviridae; Hepadnaviridae (Hepatitis B virus); Parvoviridae(parvoviruses); Papovaviridae (papilloma viruses, polyoma viruses);Adenoviridae (most adenoviruses); Herpesviridae (herpes simplex virus(HSV) 1 and 2, varicella zoster virus, cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpesvirus; Poxyiridae (variola viruses, vaccinia viruses, pox viruses); andIridoviridae (e.g., African swine fever virus); and unclassified viruses(e.g., the etiological agents of Spongiform encephalopathies, the agentof delta hepatitis (thought to be a defective satellite of hepatitis Bvirus), the agents of non-A, non-B hepatitis (class 1=enterallytransmitted; class 2=parenterally transmitted (i.e., Hepatitis C);Norwalk and related viruses, and astroviruses). Some examples ofpathogenic viruses causing infections treatable by methods hereininclude HIV, hepatitis (A, B, or C), herpes virus (e.g., VZV, HSV-1,HAV-6, HSV-II, and CMV, Epstein Barr virus), adenovirus, influenzavirus, flaviviruses, echovirus, rhinovirus, coxsackie virus, cornovirus,respiratory syncytial virus, mumps virus, rotavirus, measles virus,rubella virus, parvovirus, vaccinia virus, HTLV virus, dengue virus,papillomavirus, molluscum virus, poliovirus, rabies virus, JC virus andarboviral encephalitis virus.

For infections resulting from viral causes, the anti-TIM-3 antibodymolecules can be combined by application simultaneous with, prior to orsubsequent to application of standard therapies for treating viralinfections. Such standard therapies vary depending upon type of virus,although in almost all cases, administration of human serum containingantibodies (e.g., IgA, IgG) specific to the virus can be effective.

Some examples of pathogenic viruses causing infections treatable bymethods include HIV, hepatitis (A, B, or C), herpes virus (e.g., VZV,HSV-1, HAV-6, HSV-II, and CMV, Epstein Barr virus), adenovirus,influenza virus, flaviviruses, echovirus, rhinovirus, coxsackie virus,cornovirus, respiratory syncytial virus, mumps virus, rotavirus, measlesvirus, rubella virus, parvovirus, vaccinia virus, HTLV virus, denguevirus, papillomavirus, molluscum virus, poliovirus, rabies virus, JCvirus, arboviral encephalitis virus, and ebolaviruses (e.g., BDBV, EBOV,RESTV, SUDV and TAFV).

In one embodiment, the infection is an influenza infection. Influenzainfection can result in fever, cough, myalgia, headache and malaise,which often occur in seasonal epidemics. Influenza is also associatedwith a number of postinfectious disorders, such as encephalitis,myopericarditis, Goodpasture's syndrome, and Reye's syndrome. Influenzainfection also suppresses normal pulmonary antibacterial defenses, suchthat patient's recovering from influenza have an increased risk ofdeveloping bacterial pneumonia. Influenza viral surface proteins showmarked antigenic variation, resulting from mutation and recombination.Thus, cytolytic T lymphocytes are the host's primary vehicle for theelimination of virus after infection. Influenza is classified into threeprimary types: A, B and C. Influenza A is unique in that it infects bothhumans and many other animals (e.g., pigs, horses, birds and seals) andis the principal cause of pandemic influenza. Also, when a cell isinfected by two different influenza A strains, the segmented RNA genomesof two parental virus types mix during replication to create a hybridreplicant, resulting in new epidemic strains. Influenza B does notreplicate in animals and thus has less genetic variation and influenza Chas only a single serotype.

Most conventional therapies are palliatives of the symptoms resultingfrom infection, while the host's immune response actually clears thedisease. However, certain strains (e.g., influenza A) can cause moreserious illness and death. Influenza A may be treated both clinicallyand prophylactically by the administration of the cyclic aminesinhibitors amantadine and rimantadine, which inhibit viral replication.However, the clinical utility of these drugs is limited due to therelatively high incidence of adverse reactions, their narrow anti-viralspectrum (influenza A only), and the propensity of the virus to becomeresistant. The administration of serum IgG antibody to the majorinfluenza surface proteins, hemagglutinin and neuraminidase can preventpulmonary infection, whereas mucosal IgA is required to preventinfection of the upper respiratory tract and trachea. The most effectivecurrent treatment for influenza is vaccination with the administrationof virus inactivated with formalin or β-propiolactone.

In another embodiment, the infection is a hepatitis infection, e.g., aHepatitis B or C infection.

Hepatitis B virus (HB-V) is the most infectious known bloodbornepathogen. It is a major cause of acute and chronic heptatis and hepaticcarcinoma, as well as life-long, chronic infection. Following infection,the virus replicates in hepatocytes, which also then shed the surfaceantigen HBsAg. The detection of excessive levels of HBsAg in serum isused a standard method for diagnosing a hepatitis B infection. An acuteinfection may resolve or it can develop into a chronic persistentinfection. Current treatments for chronic HBV include α-interferon,which increases the expression of class I human leukocyte antigen (HLA)on the surface of hepatocytes, thereby facilitating their recognition bycytotoxic T lymphocytes. Additionally, the nucleoside analogsganciclovir, famciclovir and lamivudine have also shown some efficacy inthe treatment of HBV infection in clinical trials. Additional treatmentsfor HBV include pegylated a-interferon, adenfovir, entecavir andtelbivudine. While passive immunity can be conferred through parentaladministration of anti-HBsAg serum antibodies, vaccination withinactivated or recombinant HBsAg also confers resistance to infection.The anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may be combined with conventionaltreatments for hepatitis B infections for therapeutic advantage.

Hepatitis C virus (HC-V) infection may lead to a chronic form ofhepatitis, resulting in cirrosis. While symptoms are similar toinfections resulting from Hepatitis B, in distinct contrast to HB-V,infected hosts can be asymptomatic for 10-20 years. The anti-TIM-3antibody molecule can be administered as a monotherapy, or combined withthe standard of care for hepatitis C infection. For example, theanti-TIM-3 antibody molecule can be administered with one or more ofSovaldi (sofosbuvir) Olysio (simeprevir), plus ribavirin or pegylatedinterferon. Although regimens that include Incivek (telaprevir) orVictrelis (boceprevir) plus ribavirin and pegylated interferon are alsoapproved, they are associated with increased side effects and longerduration of treatment and are therefore not considered preferredregimens.

Conventional treatment for HC-V infection includes the administration ofa combination of α-interferon and ribavirin. A promising potentialtherapy for HC-V infection is the protease inhibitor telaprevir(VX-960). Additional treatments include: anti-PD-1 antibody (MDX-1106,Medarex), bavituximab (an antibody that binds anionic phospholipidphosphatidylserine in a B2-glycoprotein I dependent manner, PeregrinePharmaceuticals), anti-HPV viral coat protein E2 antibod(y)(ies) (e.g.,ATL 6865-Ab68+Ab65, XTL Pharmaceuticals) and Civacir® (polyclonalanti-HCV human immune globulin). The anti-PD-L1 antibodies of theinvention may be combined with one or more of these treatments forhepatitis C infections for therapeutic advantage. Protease, polymeraseand NSSA inhibitors which may be used in combination with the anti-TIM-3antibody molecules to specifically treat Hepatitis C infection includethose described in US 2013/0045202, incorporated herein by reference.

In another embodiment, the infection is a measles virus. After anincubation of 9-11 days, hosts infected with the measles virus developfever, cough, coryza and conjunctivitis. Within 1-2 days, anerythematous, maculopapular rash develop, which quickly spreads over theentire body. Because infection also suppresses cellular immunity, thehost is at greater risk for developing bacterial superinfections,including otitis media, pneumonia and postinfectious encephalomyelitis.Acute infection is associated with significant morbidity and mortality,especially in malnourished adolescents.

Treatment for measles includes the passive administration of pooledhuman IgG, which can prevent infection in non-immune subjects, even ifgiven up to one week after exposure. However, prior immunization withlive, attenuated virus is the most effective treatment and preventsdisease in more than 95% of those immunized. As there is one serotype ofthis virus, a single immunization or infection typically results inprotection for life from subsequent infection.

In a small proportion of infected hosts, measles can develop into SSPE,which is a chronic progressive neurologic disorder resulting from apersistent infection of the central nervous system. SSPE is caused byclonal variants of measles virus with defects that interfere with virionassembly and budding. For these patients, reactivation of T-cells withthe anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules so as to facilitate viral clearancewould be desirable.

In another embodiment, the infection is HIV. HIV attacks CD4⁺ cells,including T-lymphocytes, monocyte-macrophages, follicular dendriticcells and Langerhan's cells, and CD4⁺ helper/inducer cells are depleted.As a result, the host acquires a severe defect in cell-mediatedimmunity. Infection with HIV results in AIDS in at least 50% ofindividuals, and is transmitted via sexual contact, administration ofinfected blood or blood products, artificial insemination with infectedsemen, exposure to blood-containing needles or syringes and transmissionfrom an infected mother to infant during childbirth.

A host infected with HIV may be asymptomatic, or may develop an acuteillness that resembling mononucleosis—fever, headache, sore throat,malaise and rash. Symptoms can progress to progressive immunedysfunction, including persistent fever, night sweats, weight loss,unexplained diarrhea, eczema, psoriasis, seborrheic dermatitis, herpeszoster, oral candidiasis and oral hairy leukoplakia. Opportunisticinfections by a host of parasites are common in patients whoseinfections develop into AIDS.

Treatments for HIV include antiviral therapies including nucleosideanalogs, zidovudine (AST) either alone or in combination with didanosineor zalcitabine, dideoxyinosine, dideoxycytidine, lamidvudine, stavudine;reverse transcriptive inhibitors such as delavirdine, nevirapine,loviride, and proteinase inhibitors such as saquinavir, ritonavir,indinavir and nelfinavir. The anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may becombined with conventional treatments for HIV infections for therapeuticadvantage.

In another embodiment, the infection is a Cytomegalovirus (CMV). CMVinfection is often associated with persistent, latent and recurrentinfection. CMV infects and remains latent in monocytes andgranulocyte-monocyte progenitor cells. The clinical symptoms of CMVinclude mononucleosis-like symptoms (i.e., fever, swollen glands,malaise), and a tendancy to develop allergic skin rashes to antibiotics.The virus is spread by direct contact. The virus is shed in the urine,saliva, semen and to a lesser extent in other body fluids. Transmissioncan also occur from an infected mother to her fetus or newborn and byblood transfusion and organ transplants. CMV infection results ingeneral impairment of cellular immunity, characterized by impairedblastogenic responses to nonspecific mitogens and specific CMV antigens,diminished cytotoxic ability and elevation of CD8 lymphocyte number ofCD4⁺ lymphocytes.

Treatments of CMV infection include the anti-virals ganciclovir,foscarnet and cidovir, but these druges are typically only prescribed inimmunocompromised patients. The anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may becombined with conventional treatments for cytomegalovirus infections fortherapeutic advantage.

In another embodiment, the infection is Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). EBVcan establish persistent and latent infections and primarily attacks Bcells. Infection with EBV results in the clinical condition ofinfectious mononucleosis, which includes fever, sore throat, often withexudate, generalized lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly. Hepatitis is alsopresent, which can develop into jaundice.

While typical treatments for EBV infections are palliative of symptoms,EBV is associated with the development of certain cancers such asBurkitt's lymphoma and nasopharyngeal cancer. Thus, clearance of viralinfection before these complications result would be of great benefit.The anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may be combined with conventionaltreatments for Epstein-Barr virus infections for therapeutic advantage.

In another embodiment, the infection is Herpes simplex virus (HSV). HSVis transmitted by direct contact with an infected host. A directinfection may be asymptomatic, but typically result in blisterscontaining infectious particles. The disease manifests as cycles ofactive periods of disease, in which lesions appear and disappear as theviral latently infect the nerve ganglion for subsequent outbreaks.Lesions may be on the face, genitals, eyes and/or hands. In some case,an infection can also cause encephalitis.

Treatments for herpes infections are directed primarily to resolving thesymptomatic outbreaks, and include systemic antiviral medicines such as:acyclovir (e.g., Zovirax®), valaciclovir, famciclovir, penciclovir, andtopical medications such as docosanol (Abreva®), tromantadine andzilactin. The clearance of latent infections of herpes would be of greatclinical benefit. The anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may be combined withconventional treatments for herpes virus infections for therapeuticadvantage.

In another embodiment, the infection is Human T-lymphotrophic virus(HTLV-1, HTLV-2). HTLV is transmitted via sexual contact, breast feedingor exposure to contaminated blood. The virus activates a subset of T_(H)cells called Th1 cells, resulting in their overproliferation andoverproduction of Th1 related cytokines (e.g., IFN-γ and TNF-α). This inturn results in a suppression of Th2 lymphocytes and reduction of Th2cytokine production (e.g., IL-4, IL-5, IL-10 and IL-13), causing areduction in the ability of an infected host to mount an adequate immuneresponse to invading organisms requiring a Th2-dependent response forclearnance (e.g., parasitic infections, production of mucosal andhumoral antibodies).

HTLV infections cause lead to opportunistic infections resulting inbronchiectasis, dermatitis and superinfections with Staphylococcus spp.and Strongyloides spp. resulting in death from polymicrobial sepsis.HTLV infection can also lead directly to adult T-cell leukemia/lymphomaand progressive demyelinating upper motor neuron disease known asHAM/TSP. The clearance of HTLV latent infections would be of greatclinical benefit. The anti-TIM-3 antibody molecules may be combined withconventional treatments for HTLV infections for therapeutic advantage.

In another embodiment, the infection is Human papilloma virus (HPV). HPVprimarily affects keratinocytes and occurs in two forms: cutaneous andgenital. Transmission is believed to occur through direct contact and/orsexual activity. Both cutaneous and genital HPV infection, can result inwarts and latent infections and sometimes recurring infections, whichare controlled by host immunity which controls the symptoms and blocksthe appearance of warts, but leaves the host capable of transmitting theinfection to others.

Infection with HPV can also lead to certain cancers, such as cervical,anal, vulvar, penile and oropharynial cancer. There are no known curesfor HPV infection, but current treatment is topical application ofImiquimod, which stimulates the immune system to attack the affectedarea. The clearance of HPV latent infections would be of great clinicalbenefit. The anti-TIM-3 antibodies of the invention may be combined withconventional treatments for HPV infections for therapeutic advantage.

In another embodiment, the infection is Ebola virus (EBOV). EBOV is oneof five known viruses within the Ebolavirus genus. EBOV causes severeand often fatal hemorrhagic fever in humans and mammals, known as Ebolavirus disease (EVD). Transmission occurs through contact with blood,secretions, organs, or other boldily fluids of infected patients.Currently, there is no proven treatment or vaccine.

Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 90:6444-6448;Poljak (1994) Structure 2:1121-1123).

Methods of administering various antibody molecules are known in the artand are described below. Suitable dosages of the antibody molecules usedwill depend on the age and weight of the subject and the particular drugused. The antibody molecules can be used as competitive agents forligand binding to inhibit or reduce an undesirable interaction.

The antibody molecules can be used by themselves or conjugated to asecond agent, e.g., a cytotoxic drug, radioisotope, or a protein, e.g.,a protein toxin or a viral protein. This method includes: administeringthe antibody molecule, alone or conjugated to a cytotoxic drug, to asubject requiring such treatment. The antibody molecules can be used todeliver a variety of therapeutic agents, e.g., a cytotoxic moiety, e.g.,a therapeutic drug, a radioisotope, molecules of plant, fungal, orbacterial origin, or biological proteins (e.g., protein toxins) orparticles (e.g., a recombinant viral particles, e.g.; via a viral coatprotein), or mixtures thereof.

Additional Combination Therapies

For example, the combination therapy can include ananti-TIM-3 antibody molecule co-formulated with, and/or co-administeredwith, one or more additional therapeutic agents, e.g., one or moreanti-cancer agents, cytotoxic or cytostatic agents, hormone treatment,vaccines, and/or other immunotherapies. In other embodiments, theantibody molecules are administered in combination with othertherapeutic treatment modalities, including surgery, radiation,cryosurgery, and/or thermotherapy. Such combination therapies mayadvantageously utilize lower dosages of the administered therapeuticagents, thus avoiding possible toxicities or complications associatedwith the various monotherapies.

Administered “in combination”, as used herein, means that two (or more)different treatments are delivered to the subject during the course ofthe subject's affliction with the disorder, e.g., the two or moretreatments are delivered after the subject has been diagnosed with thedisorder and before the disorder has been cured or eliminated. In someembodiments, the delivery of one treatment is still occurring when thedelivery of the second begins, so that there is overlap. This issometimes referred to herein as “simultaneous” or “concurrent delivery.”In other embodiments, the delivery of one treatment ends before thedelivery of the other treatment begins. In some embodiments of eithercase, the treatment is more effective because of combinedadministration. For example, the second treatment is more effective,e.g., an equivalent effect is seen with less of the second treatment, orthe second treatment reduces symptoms to a greater extent, than would beseen if the second treatment were administered in the absence of thefirst treatment, or the analogous situation is seen with the firsttreatment. In some embodiments, delivery is such that the reduction in asymptom, or other parameter related to the disorder is greater than whatwould be observed with one treatment delivered in the absence of theother. The effect of the two treatments can be partially additive,wholly additive, or greater than additive. The delivery can be such thatan effect of the first treatment delivered is still detectable when thesecond is delivered.

Exemplary huMLR assay and B or T cell proliferation assays are providedbelow. Human mixed lymphocyte reaction

The Mixed Lymphocyte Reaction (MLR) is a functional assay which measuresthe proliferative response of lymphocytes from one individual (theresponder) to lymphocytes from another individual (the stimulator). Toperform an allogeneic MLR, peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC)from three donors were isolated from buffy-coats of unknown HLA type(Kantonspital Blutspendezentrum from Bern and Aarau, Switzerland). Thecells were prepared at 2.105 in 0.2 mL of culture medium containing RPMI1640 GlutaMAX™ with 10% fetal calf serum (FCS), 100U penicillin/100 μgstreptomycin, 50 μM 2-Mercaptoethanol. Individual 2-way reactions wereset up by mixing PBMC from two different donors at a 1:1 ratio andco-cultures were done in triplicates in flat-bottomed 96-well tissueculture plates for 6 days at 37° C., 5% CO2, in presence or not of an8-point concentration range of test compounds. Cells were pulsed with3H-TdR (1 μCi/0.2 mL) for the last 16 h of culture and incorporatedradioactivity was used as a measure of cell proliferation. Theconcentration that inhibited 50% of the maximal huMLR response (IC50)was calculated for each compound. Cyclosporine was used as a positivecontrol of huMLR inhibition.

Human B Cell Proliferation Assay

PBMC were freshly isolated by Ficoll-Paque density gradient from humanblood and subjected to negative B-cell isolation. B cells wereresuspended in culture medium (RPMI 1640, HEPES, 10% FCS, 50 μg/mLgentamicine, 50 μM 2-Mercaptoethanol, 1× ITS (Insulin, Transferrin andSodium Selenite), 1× Non-Essential Amino-Acids) at a concentration of9.104 per well in a flat-bottom 96-well culture plate. B cellstimulation was performed by human anti-IgM antibody molecule (30 ug/mL)and IL-4 (75 ng/mL) or by CD40 ligand (3 ug/mL) and IL-4 (75 ng/mL) inpresence or not of a 7-point concentration range of test compounds.After 72 h of culture at 37° C., 10% CO2, cells were pulsed with 3H-TdR(1 μCi/well) for the last 6 h of culture. B cells were then harvestedand the incorporation of thymidine was measured using a scintillationcounter. Of each duplicate treatment, the mean was calculated and thesedata were plotted in XLfit 4 to determine the respective IC50 values.

Human T Cell Proliferation Assay

PBMC were freshly isolated by Ficoll-Paque density gradient from humanblood and subjected to negative isolation of T cells. T cells wereprepared in culture medium (RPMI 1640, HEPES, 10% FCS, 50 μg/mLgentamicine, 50 μM 2-Mercaptoethanol, 1× ITS (Insulin, Transferrin andSodium Selenite), 1× Non-Essential Amino-Acids) at a concentration of8.104 per well in a flat-bottom 96-well culture plate.

After 72 h of culture at 37° C., 10% CO2, cells werepulsed with 3H-TdR (1 μCi/well) for the last 6 h of culture. Cellproliferation was measured by the incorporation of thymidine allowingIC50 determination for each tested compound.

Down-Modulators of the Immune System

In an alternative embodiment, the anti-TIM-3 antibody moleculesdisclosed herein are used to produce anti-idiotypic peptides orantibodies (Wallmann, J. et al. (2010) “Anti-Ids in Allergy: Timelinessof a Classic Concept,” World Allergy Organiz. J. 3(6):195-201; Nardi, M.et al. (2000) “Antiidiotype Antibody Against Platelet Anti-GpiiiaContributes To The Regulation Of Thrombocytopenia In HIV-1-ITPPatients,” J. Exp. Med. 191(12):2093-2100) or mimetics (Zang, Y. C. etal. (2003) “Human Anti-Idiotypic T Cells Induced By TCR PeptidesCorresponding To A Common CDR3Sequence Motif In Myelin BasicProtein-Reactive T Cells,” Int. Immunol. 15(9):1073-1080; Loiarro, M. etal. (Epub 2010 Apr. 8) “Targeting TLR/IL-1R Signalling In HumanDiseases,” Mediators Inflamm. 2010:674363) of TIM-3. Such moleculesserve as surrogates for TIM-3, and thus their administration to asubject down-modulates the immune system of such subject by mimicking orfacilitating ligand-TIM-3 binding. Such molecules have utility in thetreatment of graft vs. host disease. Similarly, agonist antibodies thati) enhance binding between such antibodies and such receptor/ligand orii) trigger signal transduction when bound directly to a TIM-3 ligand orTIM-3, have utility as agonists of TIM-3 signaling and thus have utilityin the treatment of inflammation and autoimmune disease, by directly orindirectly agonizing receptor activity.

Bispecific antibodies, exhibiting immunospecific binding to both TIM-3and TIM-3 ligands are capable of binding to both APC and T-cells, andthus facilitate the co-localization of APCs and T-cells. Suchco-localization facilitates the ability of such cells to bind togethervia TIM-3 ligand and TIM-3 molecules that are not complexed withantibody, or by co-inhibitory molecules. Such binding provides downmodulation of the immune system of the recipient.

Down-modulation of the immune system is desirable in the treatment ofinflammatory and auto-immune diseases, and graft vs. host disease(GvHD). Examples of autoimmune disorders that may be treated byadministering the antibodies of the present invention include, but arenot limited to, alopecia greata, ankylosing spondylitis,antiphospholipid syndrome, autoimmune Addison's disease, autoimmunediseases of the adrenal gland, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, autoimmunehepatitis, autoimmune oophoritis and orchitis, autoimmunethrombocytopenia, Behcet's disease, bullous pemphigoid, cardiomyopathy,celiac sprue-dermatitis, chronic fatigue immune dysfunction syndrome(CFIDS), chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy,Churg-Strauss syndrome, cicatrical pemphigoid, CREST syndrome, coldagglutinin disease, Crohn's disease, discoid lupus, essential mixedcryoglobulinemia, fibromyalgia-fibromyositis, glomerulonephritis,Graves' disease, Guillain-Barre, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, idiopathicpulmonary fibrosis, idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), IgAneuropathy, juvenile arthritis, lichen planus, lupus erthematosus,Meniere's disease, mixed connective tissue disease, multiple sclerosis,Neuromyelitis optica (NMO), type 1 or immune-mediated diabetes mellitus,myasthenia gravis, pemphigus vulgaris, pernicious anemia, polyarteritisnodosa, polychrondritis, polyglandular syndromes, polymyalgiarheumatica, polymyositis and dermatomyositis, primaryagammaglobulinemia, primary biliary cirrhosis, psoriasis, psoriaticarthritis, Raynauld's phenomenon, Reiter's syndrome, Rheumatoidarthritis, sarcoidosis, scleroderma, Sjogren's syndrome, stiff-mansyndrome, systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus erythematosus, takayasuarteritis, temporal arteristis/giant cell arteritis, transversemyelitis, ulcerative colitis, uveitis, vasculitides such as dermatitisherpetiformis vasculitis, vitiligo, and Wegener's granulomatosis.

Examples of inflammatory disorders which can be prevented, treated ormanaged in accordance with the methods of the invention include, but arenot limited to, asthma, encephilitis, inflammatory bowel disease,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), allergic disorders, septicshock, pulmonary fibrosis, undifferentiated spondyloarthropathy,undifferentiated arthropathy, arthritis, inflammatory osteolysis, andchronic inflammation resulting from chronic viral or bacterialinfections.

Thus, the antibodies and antigen-binding fragments of the presentinvention have utility in the treatment of inflammatory and autoimmunediseases.

Diagnostic Uses

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides a diagnostic method fordetecting the presence of a TIM-3 protein in vitro (e.g., in abiological sample, such as a tissue biopsy, e.g., from a canceroustissue) or in vivo (e.g., in vivo imaging in a subject). The methodincludes: (i) contacting the sample with an antibody molecule describedherein, or administering to the subject, the antibody molecule;(optionally) (ii) contacting a reference sample, e.g., a control sample(e.g., a control biological sample, such as plasma, tissue, biopsy) or acontrol subject with an antibody molecule described herein; and (iii)detecting formation of a complex between the antibody molecule, and thesample or subject, or the control sample or subject, wherein a change,e.g., a statistically significant change, in the formation of thecomplex in the sample or subject relative to the control sample orsubject is indicative of the presence of TIM-3 in the sample. Theantibody molecule can be directly or indirectly labeled with adetectable substance to facilitate detection of the bound or unboundantibody. Suitable detectable substances include various enzymes,prosthetic groups, fluorescent materials, luminescent materials andradioactive materials, as described above and described in more detailbelow.

The term “sample,” as it refers to samples used for detectingpolypeptides includes, but is not limited to, cells, cell lysates,proteins or membrane extracts of cells, body fluids such as blood, ortissue samples.

Complex formation between the antibody molecule and TIM-3 can bedetected by measuring or visualizing either the antibody molecule boundto the TIM-3 antigen or unbound antibody molecule. Any suitabledetection assays can be used, and conventional detection assays includean enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA), a radioimmunoassay (RIA)or tissue immunohistochemistry. Alternative to labeling the antibodymolecule, the presence of TIM-3 can be assayed in a sample by acompetition immunoassay utilizing standards labeled with a detectablesubstance and an unlabeled antibody molecule. In this assay, thebiological sample, the labeled standards and the antibody molecule arecombined and the amount of labeled standard bound to the unlabeledbinding molecule is determined. The amount of TIM-3 in the sample isinversely proportional to the amount of labeled standard bound to theantibody molecule.

In some aspects, the present disclosure provides methods of using ananti-TIM-3 antibody molecule to diagnose sepsis, SIRS (SystemicInflammatory Response Syndrome), preeclampsia, or glomerulonephritis.Sepsis is often accompanied by a downregulation of TIM-3 (Yang et al., JImmunol. 2013 Mar. 1; 190(5):2068-79) so lowered levels of TIM-3 areindicative of sepsis while normal levels of TIM-3 are an indication thatsepsis is not present. In SIRS and preeclampsia, TIM-3 levels aredownregulated in peripheral lymphocytes (Miko et al., PLoS ONE 8(8):e71811), so lowered levels of TIM-3 are indicative of SIRS orpreeclampsia, while normal levels of TIM-3 are an indication that SIRSand preeclampsia are not present. In glomerulonephritis, TIM-3 can beupregulated (see Schroll et al., Am J Pathol 2010 April;176(4):1716-1742) so elevated levels of TIM-3 are indicative ofglomerulonephritis, while normal levels are an indication thatglomerulonephritis is not present.

Additionally, cells which have stably integrated the DNA into theirchromosomes may be selected by introducing one or more markers whichallow for the selection of transfected host cells. The marker mayprovide, for example, prototropy to an auxotrophic host, biocideresistance, (e.g., antibiotics), or resistance to heavy metals such ascopper, or the like. The selectable marker gene can be either directlylinked to the DNA sequences to be expressed, or introduced into the samecell by cotransformation. Additional elements may also be needed foroptimal synthesis of mRNA. These elements may include splice signals, aswell as transcriptional promoters, enhancers, and termination signals.

Once the expression vector or DNA sequence containing the constructs hasbeen prepared for expression, the expression vectors may be transfectedor introduced into an appropriate host cell. Various techniques may beemployed to achieve this, such as, for example, protoplast fusion,calcium phosphate precipitation, electroporation, retroviraltransduction, viral transfection, gene gun, lipid based transfection orother conventional techniques. In the case of protoplast fusion, thecells are grown in media and screened for the appropriate activity.

Methods and conditions for culturing the resulting transfected cells andfor recovering the antibody molecule produced are known to those skilledin the art, and may be varied or optimized depending upon the specificexpression vector and mammalian host cell employed, based upon thepresent description.

See Examples.Table 16. See Examples. Examples Example 1. Characterization of ABTIM3and Other Anti-TIM-3 Antibodies

Panels of anti-TIM-3 antibodies were assayed for binding to TIM-3expressing cells. The dissociation constants (K_(D)) of two suchantibodies, ABTIM3 and anti-TIM-3 #2, as measured by surface plasmonresonance, is summarized in FIG. 2A. In FIGS. 2B and 2C, the binding ofvarious anti-TIM-3 antibodies, including ABTIM3, to cells transfectedwith human TIM-3 was measured using flow cytometry. Next, threeantibodies, ABTIM3, anti-TIM-3 #2, and anti-TIM-3 #3, and a controlantibody were assayed for the ability to bind cynomolgus TIM-3 in cellstransfected with cynoTIM-3. FIG. 2D shows that ABTIM3 has the strongestaffinity for cynomolgus TIM-3 out of the three antibodies tested. FIG.2E tests seven anti-human-TIM-3 antibodies for the ability to bindcynomolgus TIM-3, and shows that ABTIM3 binds with the highest affinity.Overall, the experiments indicate that ABTIM3 has strong (sub-nanomolar)affinity for both human and cynomolgus TIM-3.

The ability of three anti-TIM-3 antibodies, including ABTIM3, to bind tohuman TIM-4 expressed in CHO cells and murine TIM-3 expressed in cellswas also measured by flow cytometry. Human TIM-3 has about 23% sequenceidentity with human TIM-4. Murine TIM-3 has about 66% sequence identitywith human TIM-3 and 64% sequence identity with cynomolgus TIM-3. Theresults from these assays show that ABTIM3 does not bind to human TIM-4.ABTIM3 is also not cross-reactive with murine TIM-3. Taken together withthe binding assay results described above, ABTIM3 antibody is specificfor human and cynomolgus TIM-3.

In a cross-blocking experiment, ABTIM3 was shown to cross-blockanti-TIM-3 #2, suggesting that these antibodies bind to epitopes thatare near each other, and possibly overlap, although the two epitopes arenot necessarily identical.

The ability of TIM-3 antibodies, e.g., ABTIM3, to bind to activatedPBMCs expressing TIM-3 was also assessed. Whole human PBMCs from a donorwere stimulated for 10 days with platebound CD3/CD28 (1 μg/ml each), inthe presence of 10 ng/ml recombinant human IL-12. Cells were ficolled toremove dead cells and reactivated for three days with the same stimulus.Antibodies that bind to TIM-3, e.g., ABTIM3 and anti-TIM-3 #2, werecompared, and anti-PD-1, anti-PD-L1, and anti-LAG-3 antibodies, andmouse IgG1 were used as control antibodies. Cells were incubated withthe antibodies at various concentrations from 0.001 to 100 μg/ml, andthe antibody binding to the cells was analyzed by flow cytometry. Cellswere gated for CD4 or CD8 positive populations, and mean fluorescenceintensity (MFI) for each antibody and concentration was plotted on agraph. Dissociation constant (K_(D)) values were then calculated. Theresults from the assays are shown in Table 7 below.

TABLE 7 K_(D) values for anti-TIM-3 binding to activated PBMCs CD4 gatedPBMCs CD8 gated PBMCs Antibody K_(D) K_(D) ABTIM3 0.29 nM 0.30 nMAnti-TIM-3 #2 2.84 nM 3.14 nM Anti-PD-L1 control 0.20 nM 0.30 nMAnti-LAG-3 control 2.33 nM Anti-PD-1 control 22.8 nM 85.9 nM

These results demonstrate that ABTIM3 was able to bind to TIM-3expressed on activated PBMCs.

Example 2. Domain Analysis of Anti-TIM-3 Antibody Binding to TIM-3

TIM-3 has an extracellular IgV domain and a mucin domain. The regions ofTIM-3 bound by each of five antibodies was determined using arecombinant construct that replaced the IgV domain of TIM-3 with the IgVdomain of PD-1, and this construct is depicted in FIG. 3A. FIG. 3B showsthat the anti-TIM-3 monoclonal antibody (anti-TIM-3 #3), and twoanti-PD-L1 control monoclonal antibodies (anti-PD-L1 #1 and #2), bind tothe chimeric protein of FIG. 3A, while anti-TIM-3 #2 and ABTIM3 do notsubstantially bind. This result suggests that the anti-TIM-3 monoclonalantibodies anti-TIM-3 #2 and ABTIM3 bind to the IgV domain of TIM-3,while anti-TIM-3 #3 binds to the mucin domain of TIM-3. The dissociationconstant (K_(D)) values were calculated for each tested antibody for therecombinant construct are shown in Table 8.

Example 3. TIM-3 Binding to PtdSer is Blocked by Anti-TIM-3 Antibodies

TIM-3 binds to PtdSer (phosphatidylserine), a lipid that is typicallypresent on the surface of apoptotic cells and not normal cells.Anti-CD95-treated WR19L(Fas) cells were cultured under conditions thatpromote PtdSer accumulation on the cell surface (flipping of PtdSer fromthe inner membrane to external exposure upon induction of apoptosis).TIM-3-Ig (huTIM-3 extracellular domain fused to an Ig Fc region) wasadded to the cells, and binding of TIM-3-Ig to the cells was assayed inthe presence of various antibodies. As shown in FIG. 4, severalanti-TIM-3 mAbs, including ABTIM3, anti-TIM-3#5, and anti-TIM-3 #2,inhibit the binding of TIM-3 to PtdSer.

Example 4. IFN-Gamma Secretion of CD4+ Cells is Enhanced by Anti-TIM-3Antibodies

The ability of four antibodies to enhance IFN-gamma secretion andproliferation of IL-12 stimulated CD4+ cells was assayed. This assayused the observation that a high dose of IL-12 induces expression ofTIM-3 and yields an exhausted phenotype in T cells (see Yang et al., J.Clin. Invest. 122:4 p1271 2012). FIG. 5A shows four panels, each ofwhich indicates the results of an experiment where cells were exposed toan antibody selected from ABTIM3, anti-TIM-3 #2, mIgG1, and anti-PD-L1antibody (anti-PD-L1 control). After PMA/ionomycin restimulation andfixation and permeabilization of cells, the resulting IFN-gamma levelswere measured by flow cytometry (y axis) and proliferation was measuredby CFSE fluorescence (x axis). FIG. 5B quantifies IFN-gamma expressionin cells exposed to these four antibodies. From left to right, the barsin FIG. 5B correspond to antibodies ABTIM3, anti-TIM-3 #2, anti-PD-L1control, and mIgG1.

Example 5. TIM-3 Blockade Enhances In Vitro Functional Activity

5.1 TIM-3 Blockade Enhances In Vitro Cytotoxic Activity of Purified NKCells

TIM-3 is highly expressed endogenously on NK (natural killer) cells; itsexpression is further induced on activated NK cells. TIM-3 may act torestrain NK cell function, as do other inhibitory receptors. See Ndhlovuet al., Blood 119:3734, 2012, and Silva et al., Cancer Immunol Res2:410, 2014. Accordingly, the ability of ABTIM3 and other anti-TIM-3antibodies to enhance NK cell cytotoxic activity was assayed.

In this assay, NK cells were purified from whole blood by negative beadselection and then incubated with antibody (10 μg/mL) at 37° C. After 1hour, target K562 cells were added. After a 4-hour incubation at 37° C.,the percent of K562 cell killing was measured. Antibody ABTIM3 resultedin elevated levels of K523 cell killing relative to anti-TIM-3 #2 or theisotype control.

5.2 TIM-3 Blockade Increases Proliferation from Autologous T-DCCo-Cultures

TIM-3 can be expressed on dendritic cells (DCs) and T cells. Naïve Tcells and dendritic cells were isolated from donor samples. Naïve Tcells and conventional DCs were cocultured for four days in the presenceof anti-CD3/CD28. ABTIM3 was added at varying doses, 0.01 μg/mL, 0.1μg/mL, 1 μg/mL, 5 μg/mL, and 25 μg/mL, to the co-culture. Cellproliferation was detected by a CFSE proliferation assay, which relieson dilution of CFSE staining to detect proliferating cells.

As shown in FIG. 22, the presence of ABTIM3 at every tested dosageresulted in an increase in proliferating cells, as represented byCFSE-diluted cells, compared to no antibody and the mouse isotype (IgG1)control.

Example 6. Characterization of Humanized Anti-TIM-3 Antibody

6.1 Generation of Humanized Anti-TIM-3 Antibodies

The murine anti-TIM-3 antibody ABTIM3 was humanized by grafting theCDRs, e.g., provided in Table 3, to human IgG4 constant region, with astabilized hinge region containing the S228P mutation. Additionalmodifications were made to the CDR2 of the heavy chain by mutating theputative deamidation site from N at position 6 of HCDR (Kabat), orposition 4 of the HCDR2 (Chothia) to S or Q to remove the deamidationsite. Other modifications included using alternative frameworks. Theunique heavy chains and light chains combined in various combinations togenerate a small library of unique humanized mAbs.

6.2 Binding Assays

The binding capability of the humanized mAbs generated were tested bycompetition binding with the parent murine anti-TIM-3 antibody in afluorescence-activated sorting assay. A representative graph depictingthe results from the FACs-based competition assay comparing the bindingbetween the parent murine anti-TIM-3 antibody and 4 humanized anti-TIM-3antibodies (ABTIM3-hum01, ABTIM3-hum04, ABTIM3-hum07, and ABTIM3-hum08),and hIgG4 control is shown in FIG. 7.

The results from multiple surface plasmon resonance Biacore bindingassays for a panel of humanized anti-TIM-3 antibodies are summarized inTable 9.

6.3 Binding to TIM-3 Expressing Cells

The humanized anti-TIM-3 antibodies were assayed for binding to TIM-3expressing cells using fluorescence activated cell sorting and Biacoreassays, described in Example 1. In FIG. 8A, the binding of varioushumanized anti-TIM-3 antibodies to cells transfected with human TIM-3was measured using flow cytometry. ABTIM3 was used as a positivecontrol. Negative controls include hIgG4, goat anti-human, and goatanti-mouse secondary Ab-FITC. The results from the flow cytometrycompetition assay were used to determine the dissociation constant(K_(D)) for cells expressing human TIM-3, as shown in Table 10 below.

TABLE 10 K_(D) values for binding to cells expressing huTIM-3. AntibodyK_(D) (nM) ABTIM3-hum03 0.887 ABTIM3-hum11 0.906 ABTIM3-hum21 0.917ABTIM3 1.04

A competition binding assay was also performed to assess binding of thehumanized anti-TIM-3 antibodies, ABTIM3-hum03 and ABTIM3-hum11, to cellsexpressing human TIM-3, while in the presence of the parental murineantibody, ABTIM3. As shown in FIG. 8B, the humanized anti-TIM-3antibodies competed with ABTIM3.

The K_(D) values for two humanized anti-TIM-3 antibodies for recombinantTIM-3-Ig fusion proteins were assayed by surface plasmon resonance in aBiacore assay, as shown in Table 11.

TABLE 11 Biacore K_(D) values for TIM-3-Ig cynoTIM- huTIM- mTIM- ratTIM-3/Fc 3/his 3/his 3/Fc ABTIM3-hum03 KD(M) 1.04E−09 1.24E−10 KD(M)3.89E−09 1.84E−10 5.10E−08 KD(M) 3.08E−09 7.58E−11 Mean 2.67E−091.28E−10 KD(M) ABTIM3-hum11 KD(M) 1.24E−09 1.55E−10 KD(M) 3.14E−092.26E−10 KD(M) 5.04E−09 1.09E−10 2.97E−07 Mean 3.14E−09 1.63E−10 KD(M)

These results show that the humanized TIM-3 antibodies have similarbinding affinity with human and cynomolgus proteins. The humanized TIM-3antibodies showed very weak binding affinity to rat TIM-3/Fc protein, inthe order of 1/1000 compared to the binding affinity with huTIM-3/Fc.

Example 7: X-Ray Crystal Structure of the Human TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 FabComplex

The crystal structure of a human TIM-3 (IgV domain, SEQ ID NO: 220,Table 12) bound to the Fab fragment of a humanized anti-TIM-3 antibodyABTIM3-hum21 (SEQ ID NO: 221 and 222, Table 12) was determined. Asdetailed below, TIM-3 was co-expressed with MGB220 Fab in mammaliancells to produce purified complex. Protein crystallography was thenemployed to generate atomic resolution data for TIM-3 bound toABTIM3-hum21 Fab to define the epitope. ABTIM3-hum21, a humanizedantibody from a parental murine antibody, comprises an IgG1 frameworkand the variable heavy chain of SEQ ID NO: 84, and the variable lightchain of SEQ ID NO: 88. ABTIM3-hum21 differs by only one amino acid inheavy chain CDR2 from other humanized anti-TIM antibodies describedherein and this different amino acid (Gln55) is far away (>6 Å) from theepitope and thus would not change antigen binding, which indicates thatthe crystal structure results obtained are applicable to the otherhumanized antibodies described herein.

7.1 Protein Production

The sequences of TIM-3 and ABTIM3-hum21 Fab produced for crystallographyare shown in Table 12. The construct of TIM-3 comprises residues 22 to130 (underlined) of human TIM-3 (UniProt identifier Q8TDQ0, SEQ ID NO:129), along with N- and C-terminal residues from recombinant expressionvector (shown in lower case letters, SEQ ID NO: 130). The N-terminalsignal sequence from mouse IgG kappa light chain was used for secretedexpression of TIM-3 and was cleaved during expression, leaving intactN-terminus of TIM-3. The C-terminus of TIM-3 was fused with a 6×His tag(SEQ ID NO: 133) for purification. For ABTIM3-hum21 Fab, the sequencesof heavy (SEQ ID NO: 131) and light (SEQ ID NO: 132) chains are shown.

TIM-3 was co-expressed with ABTIM3-hum21 Fab in Expi293® cells toproduce complex for crystallography. In detail, 0.3 mg of plasmidencoding TIM-3 was mixed with 0.15 mg of plasmid encoding the heavychain of ABTIM3-hum21 Fab and 0.15 mg of plasmid encoding the lightchain of ABTIM3-hum21 Fab, diluted into 30 mls of Opti-MEM® I medium(Life Technologies), and incubated with 1.5 mgs of Polyethylenimine(Polysciences) in 30 mls of the same medium for 30 min. The mixture wasthen added into 0.6 L of Expi293® cells growing in suspension inExpi293® Expression medium (Life Technologies) at 2 million cells/ml at37° C. with 8% of CO₂ for transfection. After 5 days, the mediumcontaining TIM-3/ABTIM3-HUM21 Fab complex was harvested bycentrifugation. Five mls of Ni-NTA resin was added into the medium andkept stirring at 4° C. overnight. The next day the beads were packedinto a gravity column and washed with 25 mM Hepes pH 7.4, 150 mM NaCl(HBS) supplemented with 20 mM of imidazole. The complex was eluted with3 column volumes (CV) of HBS with 500 mM of imidazole, and then dialyzedin HBS at 4° C. overnight. The next day, the complex was incubated with1/10 (w/w) of PNGaseF (purified in-house) at 37° C. overnight to removeN-linked glycosylation. After deglycosylation, the mixture was boundback to 5 mls of Ni-NTA resin, washed with HBS to remove PNGaseF andeluted with HBS plus 500 mM of imidazole. The eluate was thenconcentrated and loaded onto HiLoad 16/600 Superdex 75 PG (GEHealthcare) size exclusion column equilibrated in HBS. Peak fractionscontaining purified TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fab complex were analyzed bySDS-PAGE, pooled and concentrated for crystallization.

7.2 Crystallization and Structure Determination

TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fab complex was concentrated to 12.5 mg/ml,centrifuged at 20,000 g for 10 min, and screened for crystallization.Crystals for data collection were grown by hanging drop vapor diffusionat 20° C. In detail, 0.1 μl of the TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fab complex wasmixed with 0.1 μl of reservoir solution containing 0.04 M potassiumphosphate monobasic, 16% (w/v) PEG 8000 and 20% (v/v) Glycerol. The dropwas then equilibrated against 45 μl of the same reservoir solution.Before data collection, the crystals were flash cooled in liquidnitrogen.

Diffraction data were collected at beamline 17-ID at the Advanced PhotonSource (Argonne National Laboratory, USA), and processed using Autoproc(version 1.1.5, Global Phasing, LTD). The data of TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fabwas processed to 2.0 Å in space group P2₁ with cell dimensions a=84.3 Å,b=93.0 Å, c=85.3 Å, alpha=90°, beta=114°, and gamma=90°. The structureof the complex was solved by molecular replacement using Phaser (version2.5.5, McCoy et al., (2007) J. Appl. Cryst. 40:658-674) with structuresof mouse TIM-3 (PDB ID: 3KAA) and a Fab (in-house structure) as searchmodels. The final model was built in COOT (version 0.6 pre, Emsley &Cowtan (2004) Acta Cryst. D 60:2126-2132) and refined using Phenix(version 1.9, Afonine et al., (2012) Acta Cryst. D 68:352-367). TheR_(work) and R_(free) values were 17.5% and 22.1%, respectively; and theroot-mean-square (r.m.s) deviation values of bond lengths and bondangles are 0.007 Å and 1.1°, respectively.

Epitope was defined as residues of TIM-3 that contain atoms within 5 Åto any atom in ABTIM3-hum21 Fab, identified by CONTACT in CCP4 programsuite (version 6.2.0, Winn et al., (2011) Acta. Cryst. D 67:235-242) andlisted in Table 13. There are 2 copies of TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fabcomplexes in the asymmetric unit (the smallest unique unit in thecrystal), only those antibody-contacting residues that are common inboth copies are listed as epitope residues.

7.3 Epitope of ABTIM3-hum21 on TIM-3

The crystal structure of the TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fab complex was used toidentify the epitope of ABTIM3-hum21 on TIM-3. The interaction surfaceon TIM-3 by ABTIM3-hum21 was formed by several continuous anddiscontinuous (i.e. noncontiguous) sequences: namely residues Val24,Glu25, Tyr26, Phe39, Tyr40, Thr41, Gly56, Ala57, Cys58, Pro59, Val60,Phe61, Ser105, Gly106, Ile107, Asn119, Asp120, Glu121, Lys122, Phe123,Asn124, Leu125, Lys126, Leu127, and Val128 as detailed in Table 13.These residues form the exemplary three-dimensional conformationalepitope that is recognized by ABTIM3-hum21 (FIG. 9).

Theantibody residues are numbered based upon their linear amino acidsequence (SEQ ID NO: 221 and 222) and corresponding chains are labeled(“H” for heavy chain, “L” for light chain).

7.4 ABTIM3-hum21 v.s. TIM-3 Ligands

The identification of the epitope of TIM-3 recognized by the anti-TIM-3antibody indicates that binding of some of the TIM-3 ligands may bedisrupted by antibody binding. The known ligands of TIM-3 includeCEACAM-1, phosphatidylserine (PtdSer), HMGB1, and Galectin-9 (Gal-9).

With respect to CEACAM-1, a recent study has showed that CEACAM-1 is aligand for TIM-3 required for its ability to mediate T-cell inhibition,and this interaction has a crucial role in regulating autoimmunity andanti-tumour immunity (Huang et al., (2014) Nature). The same study alsoidentified, both biochemically and structurally, the crucial amino acidresidues of TIM-3 mediating its binding to CEACAM-1 (FIG. 10A). TheABTIM3-hum21 epitope on TIM-3 overlaps with these CEACAM-1-bindingresidues (FIG. 10A), including C58, N119 and K122. For example, K122forms hydrogen bond N42 of CEACAM-1, but is complete blocked byABTIM3-hum21 (FIG. 10B). Superimposition of the crystal structuresobtained from the TIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fab and the TIM-3/CEACAM-1 (PDB ID:4QYC) complexes results in a significant clash between ABTIM3-hum21 andCEACAM-1 (FIG. 10C). Altogether, these data suggests that ABTIM3-hum21disrupts CEACAM-1 binding.

With respect to PtdSer, the FG loop and CC′ loop of TIM-3 form a pocket(often referred to as the metal ion-dependent ligand binding site(MILIBS)) that has been shown by crystal structure to bind Ca²⁺ andPtdSer simultaneously (DeKruyff, et al., (2010) J Immunol.184(4):1918-1930). This binding is thought to help TIM-3-expressingcells engage and penetrate the membrane of apoptotic cells (whichdisplays PtdSer) for engulfment. The crystal structure ofTIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fab indicates that ABTIM3-hum21 binds thePtdSer-binding loops of the human TIM-3 IgV domain; and the attackingangle of the antibody suggests it will prevent PtdSer-mediated membranepenetration of TIM-3 (FIG. 11).

With respect to HMGB1, it has been reported to interact with TIM-3 tohelp tumor-associated dendritic cells suppress nucleic acid-mediatedinnate immune response (Chiba et al., (2012) Nat. Immunol.13(9):832-842). The amino acid residue at position 62 of TIM-3 (Q inmouse, E in human TIM-3) has been shown to be important for mouse HMGB1binding to mouse TIM-3. E62 is not present in the ABTIM3-hum21 epitope,though it is very close to the two epitope residues V60 and F61, thusthere is a chance that ABTIM3-hum21 can block HMGB1 binding depending onthe attacking angle of HMGB1 to TIM-3.

With respect to Gal-9, it has been shown to bind mouse TIM-3 tonegatively regulate Th1-immune response (Zhu et al., (2005) Nat.Immunol. 6(12):1245-1252). However, it has also been reported that humanTIM-3 on T cells does not act as a receptor for Gal-9 (Leitner et al.,(2013) PLoS Pathog. 9(3):e1003253). From the crystal structure of humanTIM-3/ABTIM3-hum21 Fab, half of the proposed Gal-9 binding site in mouseTIM-3 is not conserved in human TIM-3 (N74 and N90 in mouse TIM-3 becomeD74 and R89 in human TIM-3), i.e. this half-site in human TIM-3 will notbe able to bind Gal-9. The left-over half site (N33 and N99 in humanTIM-3) is conserved but is far away from the ABTIM3-hum21 epitope onTIM-3 (FIG. 9A). Therefore, even if Gal-9 is a ligand of human TIM-3,ABTIM3-hum21 will not disrupt the binding of Gal-9 to human TIM-3.

7.5 Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Experimental Setup

HDx/MS experiments were performed using methods similar to thosedescribed in the literature (Chalmers et al., (2006) Anal. Chem.78(4):1005-1014). The experiments were performed on a Waters HDx/MSplatform, which includes a LEAP autosampler, nanoACQUITY UPLC and SynaptG2 mass spectrometer. The deuterium buffer used to label the proteinbackbone of human TIM-3 (aa22-135; SEQ ID NO: 139) was 25 mM HEPES, 150mM NaCl, 5 mM CaCl₂ pH7.4 with deterium; the overall percentage ofdeuterium in the solution was 94.2%. For human TIM-3 (aa22-135)deuterium labeling experiments in the absence of antibody, 300 pmol ofhuman TIM-3 (aa22-135), volume of 7.7 μl, was diluted using 100 μl ofthe deuterium buffer in a chilled tube and incubated for 15 minutes on arotator at 4° C. The labeling reaction was then quenched with 100 μl ofchilled quench buffer at 2° C. for five minutes followed by injectedonto the LC-MS system for automated pepsin digestion and peptideanalysis.

For human TIM-3 (aa22-135) deuterium labeling experiments in thepresence of antibodies, 400 pmol of ABTIM3-hum03 or ABTIM3-hum11 wasfirst immobilized on Thermo Protein G Plus beads and cross-linked usingdisuccinimidyl suberate (DSS). To perform the labeling experiments, theantibody beads (containing 400 pmol antibody) were incubated with 300pmol human TIM-3 (aa22-135) for 25 minutes at 4° C. After 25 minutes thebeads were washed with 200 μl of HEPES buffer. Then 200 μl of chilleddeuterium buffer (87.5% deuterium) was added and the complex wasincubated for 15 minutes at 4° C. After 15 minutes, the deuterium bufferwas spun out and the labeling reaction was quenched with 200 μl ofchilled quench buffer on ice for 4 minutes. After spinning the samplefor 30 seconds in a centrifuge, the quenched solution was injected ontothe LC-MS system for automated pepsin digestion and peptide analysis.

All deuterium exchange experiments were quenched using 1 M TCEP and 6 Murea (pH 2.6). After quenching, the exchanged antigen was subjected toon-line pepsin digestion using a Poroszyme Immobilized Pepsin column(2.1×30 mm) at 12° C. followed by trapping on a Waters Vanguard HSS T3trapping column. Peptides were eluted from the trapping column andseparated on a Waters BEH C18 1×100 mm column (maintained at 1° C.) at aflow rate of 40 μl/min using a binary 8.4 minute gradient of 2 to 35% B(mobile phase A was 99.9% water and 0.1% formic acid; mobile phase B was99.9% acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid).

7.6 Hydrogen-Deuterium Exchange Results

For human TIM-3 93% of the sequence was monitored by deuterium exchangeas shown in FIG. 18. In this figure each bar represents a peptide thatis monitored in all deuterium exchange experiments. For differentialexperiments between antibody bound and unbound states it is informativeto examine the difference in deuterium uptake between the two states. InFIG. 19 a negative value indicates that the TIM-3-antibody complexundergoes less deuterium uptake relative to TIM-3 alone. A decrease indeuterium uptake can be due to protection of the region fromexchangeable deuterium or stabilization of the hydrogen bonding network.In contrast, a positive value indicates that the complex undergoes moredeuterium uptake relative to TIM-3 alone. An increase in deuteriumuptake can be due to destabilization of hydrogen bonding networks (i.e.localized unfolding of the protein).

ABTIM3-hum03 shares identical CDRs with ABTIM3-hum11 except thatABTIM3-hum03 has a glutamine at position 55 in HCDR2 while ABTIM3-hum11has an asparagine at position 55 in HCDR2. ABTIM3-hum03 shares the sameCDR regions with ABTIM3-hum21. One expects these antiboides to have thesame epitope on TIM-3. From FIG. 19 one observes that ABTIM3-hum03 andABTIM3-hum11 exhihit the same protection profile which is consistentwith the two antibodies sharing the same epitope. Closer examination ofFIG. 19 reveals that when TIM-3 is complexed with either of the twoantibodies that many regions of TIM-3 undero significant protection,typically defined as proection less than or equal to −0.5 Da (Houde etal. (2010) J. Pharma. Sci. 100(6): 2071-2086). The observation of broadprotection suggests that binding of either of the two antibodies to theTIM-3 antigen cause a broad based stabilization of hydrogen bondingnetworks in TIM-3. This broad protection is in addition to theprotection that results from solvent sheilding of the epitope at theantibody-antigen interface. Given the significant amount of broadprotection, it is useful to rank order the most protected regions ofTIM-3 upon antibody binding to delineat the regions likely to beinvolved in the epitope. TIM-3 regions that are the most protected uponABTIM3-hum03 or ABTIM3-hum11 binding include the regions 23-25 (EVE),41-61 (TPAAPGNLVPVCWGKGACPVF, SEQ ID NO: 140), 73-77 (RDVNY, SEQ ID NO:141), and 121-127 (EKFNLKL, SEQ ID NO: 142). Comparing these protectedregions to the X-ray crstyal structure data summarized in Table 13 showsconsistent agreement indicating that the epitope determined by X-raycrystal structure is present in solution.

Example 8: TIM-3 Expression in Cancer

TIM-3 is expressed in various cancers. In this example, severaldifferent analysis methods were used to identify cancers with TIM-3expression in which therapeutic benefit could be achieved by ananti-TIM-3 antibody.

8.1 Immunohistochemical Staining of Tumors

ABTIM-3 was used to stain various tumor tissues. TIM-3 tumor expressionwas identified in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma, primary andmetastatic renal cell carcinoma, colorectal cancer, and leukemic stemcells in AML.

8.2 Expression Analysis in TCGA and ICGC Databases

Overall TIM-3 expression was compared in the The Cancer Genome Atlas(TCGA) database and the International Cancer Genome Consortium (ICGC)database. The following cancers were identified as among the highestexpressors of TIM-3: diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), kidney renalclear cell carcinoma (KIRC), glioblastoma multiforme (GBM),nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), kidney renalpapillary cell carcinoma (KIRP), mesothelioma (MESO), acute myeloidleukemia (AML), and in breast cancer, triple negative (TN)immunomodulatory (IM) subtype (FIG. 12).

Next, cancers were identified that were characterized by high TIM-3expression in conjunction with high expression of other immune cellmarkers. The other immune cell markers include: T cell marker CD3e, Tregulatory cell marker FoxP3, natural killer cell marker NKp30,macrophage marker CD68, and dendritic cell marker CD11c. As shown inFIG. 12, cancer indications with high expression of TIM-3 and the otherimmune cell marker were identified. quartile “High” expression wasquantified by 3^(rd) (or top 25%) expressors across more than 34,000cases. For TIM-3 and CD3e, the top indications were diffuse large B celllymphoma (DLBCL), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), and kidney renal clearcell carcinoma (KIRC). For TIM-3 and FoxP3, the top indications werediffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC),and lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). For TIM-3 and NKp30, the top indicationswere diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC), and acute myeloid leukemia (AML). For TIM-3 and CD68, the topindications were diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), kidney renalclear cell carcinoma (KIRC), and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma(KIRP). For TIM-3 and CD11c, the top indications were diffuse large Bcell lymphoma (DLBCL), mesothelioma (MESO) (though only a small samplewas assessed), and kidney renal papillary cell carcinoma (KIRP).

A comparison was also performed of the correlation between TIM-3 or PD-1to T cell associated or macrophage associated markers in the TCGAdatabase. The analysis revealed correlation between TIM-3 expression andboth T cell associated markers (e.g., ZAP70, CD3D, CD3G, CD8B, GZMH,GZMK, and ITK) and macrophage associated markers (e.g., LILRB4, MRC1,MSR1, SIGLEC1, TREM2, CD163, ITGAX, and ITGAM), however, TIM-3expression is more associated with macrophage markers, especiallyinhibitory receptors on macrophages (e.g., LILRB4). Expression of amacrophage signature, e.g., macrophage associated markers (e.g., LILRB4,MRC1, MSR1, SIGLEC1, TREM2, CD163, ITGAX, and ITGAM) was determined forvarious cancers and were organized for the highest expressors of themacrophage signature in FIG. 13. The cancer indications with highexpression of the macrophage signature are also the same indicationswith high expression of TIM-3.

Example 9: Patient Selection Based on PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ Status

For each of several types of cancer, samples from multiple patients weretested for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ status. Each sample was classified as:triple-negative for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ, single or double positive for thesemarkers, or triple-positive for these markers. FIG. 14 shows that inthis experiment, within a population of patients, the following types ofcancer are frequently triple-positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ: Lung cancer(squamous), lung cancer (adenocarcinoma), head and neck cancer, cervicalcancer (squamous), stomach cancer, thyroid cancer, melanoma, andnasopharyngeal cancer. Patients having these types of cancer are goodcandidates for therapy with anti PD-1 antibodies and combinationtherapies as described herein. The likelihood of successful treatmentcan be further boosted by determining which patients are triple-positivefor PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ, and treating the triple-positive patients withanti-TIM-3 antibodies, alone or in combination with one or moreimmodulators (e.g., a PD-1 inhibitor or a PD-L1 inhibitor), and/orcombination therapies, as described herein.

FIG. 15 shows that within a population of patients, the following typesof cancer are rarely triple positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ: ER+ breastcancer and pancreatic cancer. Notably, even in cancers that aregenerally not positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ, one can increase thelikelihood of successful treatment by determining which patients aretriple-positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ, and treating the triple-positivepatients with anti-TIM-3 antibodies, alone or in combination with one ormore immodulators (e.g., a PD-1 inhibitor or a PD-L1 inhibitor), and/orcombination therapies, as described herein.

FIG. 16 shows the proportion of breast cancer patients that are triplepositive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ. Considering breast cancer in general, theproportion of triple-positives is somewhat low. However, when onefocuses only on IM-TN breast cancer, it can be seen that a much largerpercentage of patients is triple positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ. IM-TNbreast cancer is particularly difficult to treat with conventionaltherapies. The discovery that IM-TN breast cancer is oftentriple-positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ opens up new avenues of therapy forthis cancer with anti-TIM-3 antibodies, alone or in combination with oneor more immodulators (e.g., a PD-1 inhibitor or a PD-L1 inhibitor),and/or combination therapies, as described herein.

FIG. 17 shows the proportion of colon cancer patients that are triplepositive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ. Considering colon cancer in general, theproportion of triple-positive is somewhat low. However, when one focusesonly on MSI-high (high microsatellite instability) breast cancer, it canbe seen that a much larger percentage of patients is triple positive forPDL1/CD8/IFN-γ. MSI levels can be assayed using, e.g., commerciallyavailable PCR-based methods.

Gastric cancer samples were tested for levels of PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ (datanot shown). It was found that in MSI-high or EBV+ gastric cancers, about49% were positive for PDL1, and a high proportion of the PDL1-positivecells were triple positive for PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ. It was also found that aproportion of PDL1-positive cells and PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ positive cells werealso positive for PIK3CA. This finding suggests that these cancers maybe treated with an anti-TIM-3 antibody, alone or in combination with oneor more immodulators (e.g., a PD-1 inhibitor or a PD-L1 inhibitor),optionally in combination with a PIK3 therapeutic.

MSI-high CRC samples were tested for a combination of markers (data notshown). It was found that in MSI-high CRC samples, a high proportion ofthe PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ samples are also positive for LAG-3, PD-1 (alsocalled PDCD1), RNF43, and BRAF. This finding suggests that these cancersmay be treated with an anti-TIM-3 antibody, optionally in combinationwith a therapeutic that targets one or more of LAG-3, PDCD1, RNF43, andBRAF.

Squamous cell lung cancers were tested for a combination of markers(data not shown). It was found that in squamous cell lung cancersamples, a high proportion of the PDL1/CD8/IFN-γ samples are alsopositive for LAG-3. This finding suggests that these cancers may betreated with an anti-TIM-3 antibody, optionally in combination with atherapeutic that targets LAG-3, e.g., a LAG-3 antibody.

Papillary thyroid cancers were tested for a combination of markersincluding the BRAF V600E mutation (data not shown). It was found that ahigh proportion of thyroid cancer samples that are positive for PDL1 arealso positive for BRAF V600E. This finding suggests that these cancersmay be treated with an anti-TIM-3 antibody, alone or in combination withone or more immodulators (e.g., a PD-1 inhibitor or a PD-L1 inhibitor),optionally in combination with a therapeutic that targets BRAF.

Example 10: Patient Selection Based on PD-L1 Status

To enable broad examination of cancer indications for PD-1/PD-L1 basedtherapies, we evaluated PD-L1 expression at both the protein and mRNAlevel in human cancers including both lung and hepatic tumors.

PD-L1 protein expression was evaluated in a set of formalin-fixedparaffin-embedded non-small cell lung (NSCLC) adenocarcinoma (ACA),NSCLC squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)tumors by immunohistochemistry (IHC). PD-L1 expression was scoredsemi-quantitatively by a manual histo-score (H-score) methodology basedon staining intensity and percentage of positive tumor cells. In our IHCanalysis, PD-L1 positivity (PD-L1+) was defined as an H-score 20. Inparallel, PD-L1 mRNA expression data was examined from The Cancer GenomeAtlas (TCGA) in these same indications (503 NSCLC ACA, 489 NSCLC SCC,and 191 HCC) and analyzed by comparing the expression in matched normaltissues from TCGA.

With RNAseq analysis, data was calculated as log 2 (RPKM+0.1) after RSEMnormalization, utilizing OmicSoft RNASeq pipelines across TCGA tumorindications. The expression of PD-L1 is elevated in NSCLC ACA and SCC,relative to that in HCC. By overlaying the distributions and comparingthe expression levels across all indications in TCGA, we rankedoverexpression profiles for PD-L1 and found the TCGA HCC cohort to havemuch reduced PD-L1 mRNA levels, with a median level of −0.8 compared to1.3 for ACA and 1.5 for SCC, which amounts to more than a 2-fold changeof median level expression. With RNAseq, our analysis defines 50% ofNSCLC adenocarcinoma, 54% of NSCLC squamous cell carcinoma, and 6% ofHCC as high expressers for PD-L1.

Tumor cell PD-L1 protein expression was measured in 45 lungadenocarcinoma (ACA) samples, 47 lung squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)samples, and 36 hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) samples. 16/45 (35.6%)lung ACA, 21/47 (44.7%) lung SCC were PD-L1 positive. In contrast, PD-L1positivity was seen in only 2/36 (5.6%) HCC samples.

In summary, with IHC and RNAseq analysis in large and independent humanNSCLC and HCC sample sets, we have found PD-L1 expression to be moreenriched in NSCLC than in HCC. Within NSCLC, there are comparablefindings between adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinomas.Importantly, amongst the large number of samples (128 for IHC and 1183for RNAseq) in the 3 indications, very good concordance is observedbetween protein- and mRNA-based analyses. Our finding thus establishesthe basis for large scale mRNA-based data mining in TCGA for indicationsand patient segments that may be enriched for responses to PD-1/PD-L1-and/or TIM-3 based immune therapies.

Example 11: Competition Assays Indicate Humanized Anti-TIM3 AntibodiesBind to a Similar Epitope

As described above, the epitope of TIM-3 recognized by ABTIM3-hum21 wasdetermined by x-ray crystallography studies. ABTIM3-hum21 differs byonly one amino acid in the heavy chain CDR2 from the other humanizedanti-TIM3 antibodies described herein, and this different amino acid(Gln55) is far away (>6 Å) from the epitope and thus would not beexpected to change antigen binding. Two different competition assayswere performed to compare epitope binding between ABTIM3-hum21 and twoother humanized anti-TIM3 antibodies, ABTIM3-hum03 and ABTIM3-hum11. Theresults of both competition assays show that both ABTIM3-hum04 andABTIM3-hum11 effectively compete with ABTIM3-hum03 for binding to TIM3,thus demonstrating that ABTIM3-hum03 and ABTIM3-hum11 also bind to asimilar epitope as ABTIM3-hum21, e.g., the epitope as described herein.

11.1 Flow Cytometry Competition Assay

K_(D) of ABTMI3-hum21 was determined by labeling ABTIM3-hum21 withphycoerythrin, incubated with 300.19 hTIM-3 expressing cells, and abinding curve was established to determine a K_(D) of 2.15.

Titrated concentrations of unlabelled hIgG1(isotype control),ABTIM3-hum21 (positive control), ABTIM3-hum11 or ABTIM3-hum03 were mixedwith ABTIM3-hum21 at its K_(D) and incubated with 300.19 hTIM-3expressing cells at 4° C. for 3 hours. Cells were washed twice and runon an LSRFortessa flow cytometer. Data was analyzed in FlowJo and MFI(PE) values were plotted and graphed in GraphPad (Prism) software. Theexperiment was performed twice.

The results of the competition assay demonstrate that ABTIM3-hum11 andABTIM3-hum03 (but not isotype control) both competed with ABTIM3-hum21for binding with human TIM3 expressed on the 300.19 cells (FIG. 20).K_(D) for ABTIM3-hum11 and ABTIM3-hum03 was calculated from the bindingcurves; the calculated K_(D) for ABTIM3-hum11 was 2.276 nM and thecalculated K_(D) for ABTIM3-hum03 was 2.413 nM. These resultsdemonstrate that ABTIM3-hum11 and ABTIM3-hum03 bind to a similar or thesame epitope as ABTIM3-hum21.

11.2 Biacore Competition Assay

hTIM-3/his antigen was captured by immobilized anti-His antibody(RU10000) on a CM5 chip. The first antibody was injected to reachsaturation (>90%). Then the second antibody was injected to assesswhether a second binding event occurs. Occurrence of a second bindingevent indicates that the two tested antibodies have different epitopes.Lack of a second binding event, indicates that the two antibodies mayrecognize and bind to the same epitope. Control assays were run where atest antibody was run with human IgG1 isotype control, or where the testantibody was run as the first and second antibody (e.g., self-selfcycle) to observe the baseline of a binding event. Table 14 summarizesthe Biacore cycles run and indicates which antibodies were used as thefirst and second antibody in each cycle.

Detection of the baseline and first and second binding events arerecorded as RU (resonance units) and can be presented in a sensogram. Atypical sensogram is shown in FIG. 21, where a binding event is shownafter the 1^(st) antibody injection. After a wash, the second antibodyis injected and a second binding may be detected. Significant changes inRU indicate a binding event. A summary of the changes in RU detectedfrom the 1^(st) and 2^(nd) antibody injections from the Biacorecompetition assay is shown in Table 15.

The results shown above demonstrate that injection of ABTIM3-hum21,ABTIM3-hum03, and ABTIM3-hum11 during the first antibody injectionresults in a binding event. Injection of ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM3-hum03, andABTIM3-hum11 as the second antibody after injection is human IgG1control antibody results in a second binding event. However, injectionof any of the anti-TIM3 antibodies tested here as the first and secondantibodies did not result in a second binding event, demonstrating thatfor each pair of 1^(st) and 2^(nd) antibodies tested, there wascompetition for binding to the same TIM3 epitope. These results indicatethat ABTIM3-hum21, ABTIM3-hum03, and ABTIM3-hum11 bind to a similar orthe same epitope on human TIM3.

Example 12: Pharmacokinetic Properties of ABTIM3-Hum11

Various pharmacokinetic properties of ABTIM3-hum11 were assessed inmouse and rat models. ABTIM3-hum11 was injected intravenously into miceat varying doses, 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, and 10 mg/kg. Blood samples wereobtained at various timepoints between 0 and 672 hours (0-28 days). 10mg/kg ABTIM3-hum11 was injected intravenously into rats, and bloodsamples were obtained at various time points from 0-400 hours (0-16days). The concentration of ABTIM3-hum11 present in the serum wasdetermined (FIGS. 23A and 23B). The results showed that ABTIM3-hum11 isstable in both mouse and rat serum. Table 16 shows additionalpharmacokinetic properties determined, including halflife (T1/2), peakserum concentration (Cmax), AUC up to the last measurable concentration(AUClast), and AUC as extrapolated to infinity (AUCinf).
